Фиоритура (, буквално – цъфтене) е музикален термин, означаващ добавяне на музикална орнаментика във вокална или инструментална партия. Терминът е италиански и е равнозначен на термина колоратура, въведен в някои други страни. За разлика от колоратурата обаче, той не се използва само за вокални изпълнения.

Фиоритурата е един от способите на аранжировката. Може да бъде представена от мелодични украшения, бързи пасажи, рулади, каденца, форшлаг и други. Употребява се най-често при вокални изпълнения. Възможно е да е нотен запис на композитора, или въведена от изпълнителя като негова интерпретация. Изкуството на фиоритурата достига пълния си разцвет в италианската опера от 18 век. Всички сопрана по едно или друго време са изпълнявали фиоритури в рамките на една ария. Някои произведения, изпълнени с богата орнаментика също се наричат фиоритури. Ползва се и при инструменталната музика.

Achieving technical excellence in a company's chosen field is a laudable goal, but technical excellence means nothing if it doesn't translate into business success. When a company's goal is to provide technical services and products to customers it is vital to be able to win the confidence of potential customers in the bidding process.
The creation of a winning bid is a process with many challenges. Some of the basics are a mastery of the field of endeavor and a thorough knowledge of the project's requirements. Beyond those no-brainer, bottom-line requirements, though, what are the less obvious keys to ensuring the best chance of being the bidder that is walking away with a job?
Quick turnaround of a proposal and the ability to customize the bid in case of changes in customer requirements are vitally important considerations. Proposal materials must demonstrate that your company can meet all of the prospective customer's requirements. Showcasing your technological mastery will build confidence that you can meet the customer's needs and deliver the product that they require.
It helps to have an edge, a technical "leg up" on your competition. Highlight your company's experience in the field, emphasizing strengths and unique experience with the type of product.
Another consideration in the bidding process is the quality of the presentation. Substance and not glitz wins bids—but even the best technical and financial proposal must be well presented to make a good impression.
Winning a bid requires that you make a favorable impression on the potential client, which is best done by demonstrating technical know-how, showcasing an imaginative approach to the problem, and backing it up with solid financials. Putting that package together is a job for an engineering/technical management team that works together like a well-oiled machine.
In this scenario the design engineers manage and present the technical content without losing sight of the budget and schedule aspects of the job; conversely, the engineering team's technical managers must lean on their still-active understanding of the technical content while concentrating on their primary task of managing financials budget and schedule. This is a synergistic dance which requires all the players to remain in step in order to attain the goal of convincing a potential customer that the bid being presented is the one that will fulfill all their requirements.
The good news for the technical members of a proposal team these days is that the tools at their disposal, the means by which they will communicate their vision of the task to the potential customer, are often the same as or related to the tools which they used to create the designs.
The same software solutions that technical teams utilize to create their designs, or companion tools from the same suite, give your proposal team the power to inform and educate a potential customer like never before. Simulation, visualization, and collaboration software, and even virtual reality solutions are among the tools that your proposal team may have at its disposal which will communicate to the potential customer just what your company can bring to the project.
Much of the information that will be presented in the bidding process will be cold, hard facts related to technical, financial, and schedular aspects of the job—but there's more to a winning bid than just the facts.
The hard data associated with a contract bid may be well backed up by experience and previous, related work, but it is still, essentially, promises—and promises are elusive, ethereal things that ask for faith from those who are being asked to believe them—the customer. For a customer to take that leap of faith and place their business with your company, your proposal team must develop that belief, creating empathy in the mind of the customer.
As part of the bid process, it is important that your proposal team get to know the potential customer, to understand their goals and their approach to doing business. The better your proposal team know the customer, the better they will understand the customer's needs and wants in relation to the job being bid, and the more likely it is that they will find an approach that creates a bond with the customer.
The same kind of atmosphere that creates a feeling of teamwork within your company's project teams can be harnessed to achieve a similar kind of bond between your organization and your customer. All organizations operate on trust—between co-workers, between labor and management, between mutually supporting departments, etc. If you strive to create that same feeling of teamwork, of cooperation and the mutual pursuit of a common goal with your customer, this will go a long way toward getting them "in your corner" and convincing them that you are the right company with which to place their business.
It takes a combination of tangibles and intangible factors to boost win rates on bids. A presentation that demonstrates a technical mastery of the task and a firm grasp of the schedule and budgetary challenges comprises the tangible; the intangibles are the creation of a bond with the potential customer, and a feeling of teamwork which is based on a study of their goals for the project being bid.

'Tell Stories that Matter': Exploring the Spectrum of Writing
A one-day conference on writing explores the various means of telling stories that matter, from poetry, fiction to journalism.
by Ayunda Nurvitasari, Reporter/Social Media Manager
Writers and readers gathered at Kota Kasablanka in South Jakarta on Saturday (May 13) to talk about writing and storytelling in a mini conference held by The Jakarta Post Writing Center.
Themed "Tell Stories That Matter" the one-day event offered a series of vibrant discussions on writing, from poetry and fiction to media and activism.
Maggie Tiojakin, the Managing Director of the Jakarta Post Writing Center, told Magdalene the idea came out of conversation she had with Hong Kong novelist Xu Xi during a meeting in New York.
"We were discussing creative writing, and I thought what could be done to encourage people to write more. 'How about a writers series?' Xu Xi said, as it can promote creative thinking, creative solution, and creative writing," Maggie, herself an author of novels and short stories, said.
The first Writers' Series was held last year, albeit smaller. But this year, she invited more speakers and involved more communities.
"It turns out really great this year, so we expect to have more like this in the future—to be introduced to an even wider audience," she said.
The discussions featured influential figures from the international and local literary scene and the media, including journalists, novelists, poets, and scholars. Other than discussions, there were also presentations and reading performances.
Among the speakers, novelist Xu Xi discussed the importance of "maintaining a distance as a writer" together with Magdalene's editor-in-chief, Devi Asmarani.
Devi said that distancing the writer's personal emotion from the writing is particularly difficult. "I have this problem myself," she said, relating to a question from a member of the audience, "because you have to have a separation between editor and writer. As an editor you have to stay aloof from your piece, but as a writer you also need that distance as well."
Xu Xi pointed out that when it comes to distance, it's important to question the urges of writing a particular story.
"When I taught my creative writing students, I always asked them 'why this story, why are you writing about this particular character, why is this important right now to be written'. I think when you figured out about the 'whys', that is the beginning of 'distance'. Because that gives something bigger than you. If it's all just about you, then, well, why don't you just talk about it, why bother writing it, you know. It is all about creating something that is beyond yourself," Xu Xi said.
After the discussion, Xu Xi read an excerpt from her upcoming memoir entitled Dear, Hong Kong for the audience.
Professor Melani Budianta and writer Robert Hemley at the Jakarta Post's Writers Series.
During a presentation themed "Writing Women", Devi Asmarani also introduced Magdalene to the audience. She talked about how important it is for women to reclaim their voice, and to counter-balance the mainstream media that is often misogynistic and preyed on women to preserve consumerism culture.
"It's important for us to write our own stories; to reclaim our own stories in the media," she said.
Devi also told the significance of writing for women's lives, "As a woman, and as someone who has written for almost three decades, I feel like writing is a very important tool. I feel that writing not only allows us to express our emotions or convey our ideas. It also allows us to reveal the defects of our society. And at the same time, writing also has a transformative effect. Writing requires us to face our limitations, our own confinement. In the process, hopefully, it can liberate ourselves."
Indonesian poets Debra Yatim and Aan Mansyur shared the stage with Filipino poet Lawrence Ypil to discuss how poetry could be a strategic medium for personal expression.
"The only secure place to be honest is a poem," said Lawrence. He and Aan agreed that poem often becomes a safe "hiding place" when things cannot easily be described by speaking.
"I wrote poetry because I wanted to be away from people—because there are certain things you need to say without actually saying it," Aan added.
Chinese author Dai Fan, who heads the Center for Creative Writing in the School of Foreign Languages at Sun Yat-sen, talked about why she writes in English.
"I write in English because I want more people to know about China – that is my home," she said.
Dai Fan used to write in Chinese until one day she found the importance of telling her stories to a bigger audience. Since then, she has been writing bilingually.
Also lining up in the panel discussions were Indonesian scholar, Prof. Melani Budianta, The Jakarta Post Editor-in-Chief Endy M. Bayuni, American author Robin Hemley, writer and writing instructor and lecturer Danny Yatim, Managing Editor of Life at the Jakarta Post Digital Asmara Wreksono, founder and CEO of SociaBuzz.com Rade Tampubolon, founder and CEO of Storial.co Steve Wirawan, as well as travel blogger Windy Ariestanty.
The event also provides a "Living Library" where audience can borrow one of six "living books": the activist, the radio girl, the female engineer, the newspaper man, the recovering yogi and the librarian. These "books" would then tell their personal stories and converse with their "borrowers" for 20 minutes.

Ensuring the primacy of human rights in trade and investment policies
CIDSE | 3 March 2017
by Markus Krajewski
While it is generally agreed that human rights and obligations of trade and investment agreements do not contradict each other per se, many commentators and political observers agree that trade and investment agreements may lead to policies and governmental measures with a negative impact on the full enjoyment of human rights and the State's ability to respect, protect and fulfil these rights.
The United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights recognise the potential tension between trade and investment policies and human rights obligations. While the Guiding Principles became the main reference for the business and human rights discourse, in 2014 the UN Human Rights Council adopted resolution 26/9 by which it decided "to establish an open-ended intergovernmental working group on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights, whose mandate shall be to elaborate an international legally binding instrument to regulate, in international human rights law, the activities of transnational corporations and other business enterprises".
While the actual negotiations on the legally binding instrument are to begin in 2017, the Working Group held two informative sessions in 2015 and 2016 on the issues most relevant for the structure and scope of the treaty. During the second session of the Open-ended intergovernmental working group, a number of speakers and discussants raised the question of how a treaty on businesses and human rights might address the potential conflict between trade and investment policies and human rights, and called for treaty elements which would ensure the primacy of human rights.
The present study seeks to contribute to this debate in the context of the treaty process.
Part II of this study recalls the main areas of potential conflict between trade and investment policies and human rights, in particular trade and investment agreements. Part III explains how some of these conflicts could be addressed in reformed trade and investment agreements. As such reforms would not be sufficient, Part IV of the study develops and explains model clauses addressing investment and trade policies which could be included in a treaty on businesses and human rights.
The value of a treaty
The UN Guiding Principles call upon States to negotiate and conclude trade and investment agreements which do not impose undue restrictions on national policy space needed to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. However, the Guiding Principles are non-binding and so far, States have not fundamentally changed their treaty practices. For example, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the EU does not contain any provisions which could be seen as an implementation of the UN Guiding Principles. Instead, most of CETA's trade rules follow the classic model.
This seems to suggest that the voluntary approach of the UN Guiding Principles is not sufficient to ensure that States negotiate trade and investment agreements which ensure the primacy of human rights. Consequently, it would be beneficial from a human rights perspective if a treaty on businesses and human rights would establish binding obligations for States when developing new trade and investment agreements, and if it would structure the relationship between human rights and the trade and investment regime to ensure the former's primacy.
Implications for investment
It is unlikely that rebalancing and restructuring the relationship between investment and trade rules on the one side, and human rights on the other, in a treaty on businesses and human rights will have negative effects on the trade and investment performance of the parties of this treaty.
A number of empirical studies could not find a significant impact of investment agreements on foreign direct investment. Hence, agreements with lesser investment protection will not necessarily lead to less foreign direct investment.
More importantly, establishing a supremacy of human rights does not indicate an investor-hostile regulatory environment. To the contrary, clarifying the relationship between trade and investment could add to a stable legal environment.
Model clauses for a treaty
To ensure the primacy of human rights, the treaty could contain provisions addressing three specific areas:
• Firstly, treaty provisions could regulate the relationship between trade and investment agreements and human rights through a specific supremacy clause or through requirements ensuring the observance of human rights in trade and investment disputes and through the incorporation of human rights obligations and clauses in future trade and investment agreements.
• Secondly, the treaty could require the States to conduct human rights impact assessments before, during and at the end of the negotiation of a new trade and investment treaty and periodically review the impact of such a treaty on human rights.
• Thirdly, the treaty on businesses and human rights could specify obligations of export credit and investment guarantee agencies.
Window of opportunity for new legal approaches
The international regime of trade and investment agreements is currently suffering from a significant legitimacy crisis, which should be considered as a window of opportunity for the introduction of new legal approaches to address the relationship between human rights and investment and trade policies. Reforming the investment and trade regime and establishing binding norms in a treaty on businesses and human rights are not mutually exclusive. Despite the current crisis of the trade and investment regime, it is safe to assume that these agreements will continue to exist and to exercise considerable influence on States. The treaty on businesses and human rights could therefore be used as an instrument to establish binding obligations on States to reform trade and investment agreements, to mitigate the potential negative impact of trade and investment agreements on the full enjoyment of human rights and to regulate the relationship between the two regimes in case of a conflict.

The app enables users to collate videos, images, music and text from any other app on their phone to create different mood boards, which can then be shared via any messaging platform.
File sharing website WeTransfer has launched a new app that allows users to collect and share content such as videos and documents from a single place on their smartphones.
Founded in 2009, the Amsterdam-based company's service allows people to share files that are too large to be sent over email. Today, it has 40 million monthly users and in 2016 it opened an office in Los Angeles, California.
The new WeTransfer app has been designed by its in-house creative team to help the company transition from "being that file transfer thing" to a business "that's about making sharing simple", says co-founder Nalden.
The decision was made to replace WeTransfer's existing app after the company underwent a rebrand and website redesign in 2016, which was completed by its in-house creative team and saw it drop "transfer" from its name.
The new app allows users to collate all kinds of content – including pictures, documents and songs – in one place. Content can be added from any other app by using the plus button in the WeTransfer app, or through the iOS share extension.
Users can then organise them on Pinterest-style "boards", which are unlimited in size and can be shared with colleagues, friends or family via the app. The boards can also be shared straight from the app via other channels such as email, text, Slack or WhatsApp.
WeTransfer's aim is that the app will be used by people for everything from creating a mood board for a client and composing a storyboard for a video, to finding wedding inspiration and planning their fiscal year.
For designers and other creatives in particular, the app looks to "simplify and enhance" how they carry out work on their mobiles, says WeTransfer product manager Nina Rutten.
The app is available for free on iOS devices from the App Store, and is expected to roll out to Android in the future.

And of course, when I did eventually come out of that corkscrew [a dive made by the plane] and I had a look to see what happened and I'm sort of lying there half-dead.

Veteran Democratic operative Donna Brazile finally admitted that she used her former position as a CNN commentator to relay questions ahead of debates to Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary.
For months, Brazile has avoided confirming that hacked emails from the campaign showed her forwarding the questions, which were asked at separate debates. But in a new essay for Time magazine looking back on the hackings, she said it was true.
As recently as February, Brazile would only say that the emails "allegedly" showed her forwarding the questions.

If you're allowed to decorate, don't abuse the privilege by pinning up blinking lights or play holiday music out loud, unless your coworkers have given you permission. Keep it subtle, so you don't disturb your neighbors.
Gift exchanges are a staple in the workplace during the holidays, because they are a great way to express gratitude to your colleagues for all they did this year. First and foremost, if your office has arranged a gift exchange, make sure you follow the rules, with special emphasis on sticking to the spending limit and bringing your gift on time. Although they may seem impersonal, if you're in a bind, you can give a gift card to your Secret Santa-ee's favorite lunchtime spot.
Potlucks are a great way to break up the work day with good food and conversation with your coworkers! Like gift exchanges, make sure you follow any rules and bring the dish you committed to bringing on time. If you know somebody has an allergy or dietary restriction, either accommodate or clearly communicate that your dish might not be good for some to consume.
The company holiday party can be a great way to network within your organization and get to know coworkers and leaders, so don't let it be a professionalism pitfall! If there is an RSVP, you should fill it out like you would for any other party. Also, do not drink too much or bring a plus one if not allowed.
Just because you're at work, it doesn't mean you have to check your holiday cheer at the door. If you follow our tips, the holiday season is a great time for celebration with friends, family and even your coworkers.

homeone.com.au›Building Forum›Outdoors›Landscape & Garden Design›Re: SOAKWELLS - How easy are they to put in and install ?
If you are in Perth where there are very common, it is hard work but the digging is easy due to the sand.
I suggest concrete so you are not doing a very awkward and costly repair in a few years.
A good base of blue metal gravel or even pea gravel (which is easy to get here). Fill the base a little as well and down the sides too if you can. The top of the lid need to be at least 300mm deep but 400mm is better. That way you reduce the risk of having sand blow up through your paving.
I find the ag drainage pipe much better and same depths. I often link them to form a network so overflowing isn't such an issue.
I don't like to join the down pipe directly to the soak well pipe as is done to stormwater over east.
By separating them at the base with a grate of sorts (I'll post later) when the soakwell fills (and it will) you don't get a build up of water pressure forcing out sand through your paving and you don't have your eves flooded.
One standard roll of 90mm ag pipe is the equivalent to 1 and a bit soak wells for drainage.
I have a block with a storm water drain already installed by the developer. I have a house (still being built) with 8 down pipes located around the outside. So there's the basic's!
Now what i'm thinking is, running a 100mm PVC pipe down each side of the house, with the local downpipes connected into it. This would split the load evenly with 3 downpipes running into each 100mm PVC pipe. On the right hand side the 100mm pipe would run straight into the storm water system.
On the left hand side it would be connected up to another 100mm pipe running along the front of the house to the storm water system. There would be two additional downpipes running into the front 100MM pipe as well.
Now i have a few questions about this, mainly is 100mm pipe large enough? I'm concerned that the front 100MM pipe, which will end up with 5 down pipes feeding into it will be far to small to handle a heavy rain in winter. I'm thinking there might be a need to run the 100mm pipe from left hand side direct to the storm water system, and run the front two downpipes separately.
Does anyone know what the flow of water would be like? Or how to calculate what it will be? Is there any better ideas or suggestions?
Run two or three 100m pipes next to each other. however having said that, it will very much depend on where you live. If you live in Southern WA then it is a no brainer and the 100mm will be heaps.
If you have to go bigger than 100mm those sizes are expensive as. So would be cheaper to drop two 100mm lines in if you have to.
I'm in the new LWP estate in Byford, so the soil being clay is pretty useless for getting rid of water.
How would you suggest running the 3 x 100m pipes? One for each side, and one for the front?
PS - Thanks for the advice!
100mm should be fine. Most pipes are 90mm normally here in Perth.
Ok great! Whats your thoughts on using the small plastic box drains? I spotted them in bunnings yesterday, they're essentially just a 30cm square box, with a normal grate on top, and they connect to a drain pipe at the bottom?
May be a bit over kill i guess..
how do you set up ag pipe ?
do you just run it out underneath the ground or wrap in geofabric or put in a trench with gravel around it ?
We have used old 4WD or Truck tyres for soak wells in place of the crappy plastic ones you can get from bunnings or the concrete ones. We can get them free from the tip and then just lay them on top of each other in the hole with the normal top and all the other bits and pieces.
I have never had a problem with them and hey, recycle recycle recycle!
THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE IS 495 SQM OF BEACH SAND AND WEEDS!
Ahhh, but tyres are an environmental nightmare and contaminate ground water and harm soil health. There have been significant studies into the use of recycled tyres and the toxic chemicals they leach. relative more with sport, kids, and veggie gardens.
Can you please revisit this topic, and advise us on how you would lay/install this ag pipe?
We've been advised by our SS that we should start thinking about soakwells, and have the pipes at least installed before they do the paving so that its easier for us after handover.
Thanks. We googled it and found some info on an abc.net article too. My dad is insisting that we'll need soakwells as well.. do we need both, or do you think this ag pipe thingo will be enough? We're building in Cockburn Shire, plenty of sand and no clay or anything.
If you link all the ag drains as I have suggested in a few posts on this then the efficiency of the drainage is pretty good and will handle almost anything thrown at it. The reason being that not all your drain pipes will flow the same volume of water. So if they are all linked, the area for water to soak away is massive.
Have the drain pipe empty into a grate then into the ag drain. If the ag drain or soakwell plumbing is directly connected to the drain pipe, your eves and even home can be flooded. Also sand can be forced up through paving from the soakwell. If the two are separated when the drainage fills water can still be drained from the roof and the water will flow out onto the paving. Even in the heavy rain we had in Perth the other day water drained away at a massive rate.
Water pressure forms in heavy rain to cause this when the whole lot backs up. With homes connected to storm water the pipe needs to be directly connected to the stormwater.
hello only new to this, i work away and fly home today (tuesday) i live in canningvale W.A and would like to know a decent place that supply and deliver soakwells at short notice ( with in a week) i need bout 3 soakwells bout 1800mm and my land is sandy. i know when i put them into the ground i need the distance and depth from the house and all that, but i not sure what do i use and where to get material to place around the soakwell to stop the sand from seeping into it and filling up. I going to hire a 2.5 ton excavator or backhoe to dig and lift the soakwell into place. but unsure bout the sand seeping into the soakwell. i got bout a 320m2 house on 630m2 land . also is 3 time 1800 by 1800 soakwell efficent size enough for the house area, canningvale council fussy with making sure right amount but not say what it actually requires. I'm going to interlink them together to each other. going to use cememnt soakwells .with 90mm piping.
Ag drain, from the link provided, hardware and farm/ ag supply places like Elders etc.
So with the ag-pipe installed that way... would it affect paving or liq limestone type isntall? Maybe this might be a good alternative for theose who have garage on the boarder and there's rwp that spills onto a section of the property that's the width of the garage column.
Is it suitable for a small block? where there's only roughly 1400mm gap on either side and <3000mm gap at the back and 8000*6000 space at the front from wall to fence?

Environment initiatives funded from iconic peaks to suburban creeks
Across Ipswich a wide range of environmental initiatives will support a clean and green city as part of the Ipswich City Council 2022-2023 Budget.
Environment and Sustainability Committee Chairperson Councillor Russell Milligan said Ipswich had diverse environmental needs, reflected in the variety of projects funded by council.
"This council is committed to improving and protecting our natural areas and waterways, and preserving cultural heritage, as well as making our city green and environmentally friendly," Cr Milligan said.
Councillor Milligan said significant investment will be made into recovering vital waterways with severe long-term erosion.
"Council is investing $220,000 for recovery works at Gladstone Road Reserve. This will contribute to addressing major erosion issues along the Bremer River," Cr Milligan said.
"The Ironpot Creek bank stabilisation project has received an $850,000 injection to construct the next stage.
"This project will allow native vegetation to re-establish, and by slowing the stormwater run-off from nearby urban areas will make for a healthier creek system flowing into the Bremer River.
"An additional $150,000 will be invested in a similar stabilisation project at Woogaroo Creek, which is one of our local waterways known to have platypus."
Councillor Milligan said the Ipswich Enviroplan Program and Levy will invest $1.8 million into boardwalk and lookout infrastructure at the popular White Rock – Spring Mountain Conservation Estate.
"White Rock is the focal point of the estate, and along with sites such as The Bluff and Little White Rock is culturally significant to the Traditional Owners of the area," Cr Milligan said.
"This estate records thousands of visitors a day, so protection of these sacred sites through installation of boardwalks and interpretive signage will help protect them for future generations."
Councillor Milligan said the Stormwater Quality Offsets Scheme would fund a range of projects to reduce pollution and sediment from stormwater run-off entering Ipswich waterways.
"One of the exciting projects is at Bremervale Park at Raceview, with $150,000 allocated for a detailed design to convert open space into an ephemeral wetland," Cr Milligan said.
"This will become a natural area appealing for the community as well as native species."
Councillor Milligan said Ipswich neighbourhoods would benefit from $680,000 allocated to urban greening projects.
"Urban greening is vital to a resilient and liveable city, providing multiple benefits including reducing urban heat island effect, absorbing air pollution and filtering stormwater, through to supporting positive mental and physical health," Cr Milligan said.
"Ipswich's conservation and natural areas are vital for biodiversity, but it is also important to continually enhance our urban environment and provide connection and corridors for wildlife in urban areas.
"These urban greening initiatives are great for the community, and our environment, and will contribute to making Ipswich a more liveable and greener city."

The Tye Trybe played their first show in at a bar attached to a pizza restaurant in Ohio, just two Puerto Rican brothers from the Bronx with a guitar, a set of drums, and a lot of spirit. Since then, they have evolved their lineup and their repertoire, most recently recording with the Converse Rubbertracks Studio in Brooklyn. They have also left their mark on Webster Hall's Marlin Room, House of Vans, Santos Party House, and Mercury Lounge.
The now three-piece band brings together Joseph Hernandez's Bronx-bred raspy vocals and untamed guitar playing, Desi Joseph's steady, driving bass lines with gritty Spanish Harlem undertones, and Henry Colle's dynamic drums repping the Queens front. These young artists breathe to create music, and play every note with hunger and conviction.
Drawing inspiration from Jimi Hendrix's aesthetic, Black Sabbath's power, Queens of the Stone Age's arrangement, and the journey to destroy the one ring, The Tye Trybe has formed a sound that blows away unwitting audiences time and time again. Whether it's from their tense, rhythmic "Shine Them Shoes" or dance-driving "Pachyderms," fans old and new are consistently left exhilarated and craving that "one more song," at live Tye Trybe concerts.

Hey everyone, today I'm reviewing the Schwarzkopf BC Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner. I have a very thick, curly hair that are extremely frizzy and rough. I'm always on the lookout for the hair care products that can add extra moisture to my dry and dull hair.
I really liked Schwarzkopf products like, BC Repair Rescue Shampoo and Conditioner that I've used for 3-4 years after I first time got my hair rebonded (chemically straightened). So, when my hair stylist recommended this spray conditioner to me I bought it immediately (not only 1 but 2 bottles because of discounted price at that time).
Packaging: The spray conditioner comes in a tinted blue bottle with a spray nozzle and wide cap that protects the nozzle. The important product related information is mentioned on the bottle. Overall, the packaging is convenient & hygienic to use and you can easily carry it along without any fear of leakage.
Price & Availability: The price of the Schwarzkopf BC Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner is Rs.800 for 200ml. It can be bought from reputed salons and also at leading online shopping websites like Purplle.com, Amazon.in, etc.
My Experience: The spray conditioner comes in a clear liquid form and smells exactly like the Repair Rescue Shampoo from the same brand. I generally use this conditioner on my damp hair. I usually spritz a few sprays on my hair and spread it using my fingers. It feels very light on the hair and doesn't leave any residue behind. It does tame frizz for some time but on my super thick, unruly hair, the after results doesn't last longer than 1 hour. I've used it many times and gone through the first bottle already but unfortunately, it did nothing for my super frizzy hair.
The spray conditioner comes in an easy to use spray bottle which is very hygienic to use and you can easily carry it along while traveling.
A lightweight spray that doesn't make hair sticky or greasy.
Doesn't leave any residue behind.
You can use it over chemically straightened or colored hair.
Suitable to use for people with fine slightly dry hair.
Not very effective in controlling the frizz.
Doesn't provide enough moisture to my thick, dry curly hair.
Expensive, I didn't find it a value for money product.
It doesn't add any shine to my hair.
Not suitable for rough, thick or super dry hair.
I don't like it smell.
Overall, I didn't like Schwarzkopf BC Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner. It was a complete waste of money as it did not stand up to its claims. I'll neither use it in future nor recommend it to people with very dry hair.
Yep.. I do the feel the same, this product doesn't have much effect as expected.It doesn't tame my hair at all.Results can be seen only for an hour or so….not worthy to buy. But I really love other Schwarzkopf products like repair rescure shampoo and conditioner which worked very well….


It was a typical morning for the Stoney Creek native—wake up, shower, get dressed—up until he made his way downstairs to the living room. It was draft day.
As a young hockey player, Francesco's goal is to make it to the NHL. The first step to achieving that goal for him was to be drafted in the OHL Priority Selection. All his hard work paid off, as Kitchener called his name in the 1st round, 13th overall.
The moment Francesco heard his name, he knew it was time to get to work. His drive and passion for the game are evident to those who watch him play.
Walking into The Aud on draft day and shaking the hands of the scouts, head coach and general manager would be nerve-racking for anyone. Francesco just couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
His parents, Frank and Daniella, watched on as their son was welcomed to the organization and couldn't help but smile—they were so incredibly proud.
Francesco also heard many of his teammates' names called on Saturday, April 6th. Specifically, two of his best buddies.
Francesco and the other Rangers prospects' hard work doesn't stop now, it has only just begun.
The newest selections will compete for a spot on the Blueshirts line up on Easter weekend at the Kitchener Rangers Spring Camp held from Friday, April 19 through Sunday, April 21, 2019, at the Activa Sportsplex.
Camp will feature newly drafted prospects from the 2019 OHL Priority Selection and 2019 U-18 Priority Selection, prospects from previous OHL Priority Selections, as well as free agent invites. All on-ice practice and games are open to the public.

DARPA's Plan To Launch Satellites From The Belly Of An F-15
Have you ever thought about launching things into space and wondered, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to take a much smaller, lighter, cheaper rocket, mount it on a plane, fly the plane up to the top of the atmosphere and then launch the rocket from there? Well, if you've ever thought this, you're not alone. It turns out DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has been thinking the same thing, and it looks like soon they're going to be making it a reality.
What are they doing? DARPA has created a new kind of rocket they call the Airborne Launch Assist Space Access program or ALASA. It's designed to be launched from the belly of an airborne F-15. Once launched, the rocket will carry small satellites, weighing about a hundred pounds into low earth orbit. DARPA is planning a proof of concept launch by the end of 2015.
Why are they doing this? Bradford Tousley, director of DARPA's Tactical Technology Office describes it this way: "Currently, small satellites have to hitch a ride into space with bigger, more expensive "prime" payloads. So, I have to wait on somebody else, I have to go through their certification; if there's a hiccup with the prime, I wait. For a whole bunch of reasons, the small satellite, or the small payload market, has not been well serviced to this point." Tousley makes several good points here. Even hitching a ride is hugely expensive and inconvenient. These launches have to be planned years in advance, because, you know, it's a rocket. Nobody's got a warehouse full of these things just sitting around waiting to be pulled out and launched.
But think about the ALASA concept. All you need is a free F-15 and a runway, both of which the military has plenty of. You could take off pretty much any time you wanted, in pretty much any weather you wanted. The F-15 would then climb to the appropriate altitude and release its ALASA rocket, which would take its payload into orbit. The F-15 would then return to base and to prep for the next mission. DARPA's goal is to be able to have a satellite in the air within 24 hours of being ordered. "...we think that by going after this, [the ALASA concept]," Tousley explains, "we'll be able to really change the nature of it," the "it" being launching satellites into space, and if DARPA can pull this off, which certainly seems likely, they will certainly have changed the ease of satellite launches and the cost. Each ALASA launch is projected to cost no more than a million dollars.
After its proof of concept flight later this year, DARPA has planned a series of 12 orbital flights that will begin in early 2016. "The plan right now is, we have 12 [orbital] launches," Tousely said during a presentation he gave last February to the Federal Aviation Administration's Commercial Space Transportation Conference in Washington, D.C. "The first three are fundamentally engineering checkout payloads. The other nine will be various scientific and research development payloads that we're after."

I have been a DJ for over 25 years now. I learned my trade in night clubs, pubs and village halls…I've played to celebrities, huge corporations and probably around 300 Auntie Beryls at weddings across the UK. I can only recall one dissatisfied customer in all that time, and that was because I played his guests' choice of music instead of the awful playlist he sent me….opting to entertain the majority rather than an incredibly small minority (i.e. just him). I've built up an established reputation as a very good mobile DJ and presenter, being a preferred wedding supplier in quite a few reputable hotels over the years….basically I've done my job to a very high standard and I'm proud of the services I provide.
So it came as a surprise to me when I spoke to a bride-to-be at the weekend, and one of her comments was that she would prefer an 'award-winning DJ'.
Hmmmm, in all my years in the role, I'd never ever been asked that. I know they exist because a friend/associate DJ has won many of them, and in his own words, it's more of a marketing skill than a DJing one. He is the first to humbly admit that he's not the best DJ in the area or the country. Clearly though, it works very well for him and it certainly helps fill his diary with higher-paying weddings each year. So I briefly researched exactly how I could achieve the same accolade (next year now, 2014 is already decided!) I could register personally for the awards or I could ask my satisfied clients to nominate me. And I immediately hit stumbling block no.1…….'A fee of £50 is payable for nomination and administration' Seriously? You want me to pay £50 so that I can be included in the voting? Erm…..ok, so what next? It turns out that I would need to badger each and every bride and groom to get online and post some scores/vote for me following their wedding reception. Apparently, to avoid spoof voting the judges verify that the votes come from legitimate customers of mine….. Am I too cynical? Probably. Am I jealous? No. Am I annoyed that a potential booking hinged on whether I had an internet-generated gong to my name? Most definitely! My reasoning for questioning this system is very simple though: The winners are those who tend to be more gifted at marketing and self-promotion than they are at doing the actual job in hand. No-one on the 'judging panel' actually takes time to see a performance in the flesh, therefore none of the DJs are judged by their peers or by anyone within the industry itself.
Without a doubt, the winners of these awards provide a good reliable service for your wedding reception……but not necessarily the best service. And with the prestige of hiring an 'award winner' be prepared to pay extra for that title too!

              AWAY

                  OFFLINE

Now I am trying to write a javascript code that I use Backbone to get what I select in the dropdown list. I mean when I clicked "away", I want to write "away" in the dropdown list.

A: The simplest solution would be to create a listener for click event. It can be done like this:
Your view:
// ...
View1.prototype.events = {
  "click .item": "menuClick"
};

View1.prototype.menuClick = function() {
  Backbone.trigger('menuItemSelected');
};

And a consumer on the click event (another view):
View2.prototype.initialize = function() {
  this.listenTo(Backbone, 'menuItemSelected', this.selectMenuItem);
};

View2.prototype.selectMenuItem = function() {
  console.log('item selected');
}

It's time for Gigi Hadid to pick out a gown and boutonniere, because the three-time SI Swimsuit model is going to prom! Well, if Zayn approves, that is.
When Ellen DeGeneres enlisted the help of the 'Damn, Daniel' viral video stars Daniel Lara and Joshua Holz to cover the red carept at the MTV Movie Awards, we're not quite sure she intended for the teen heartthrobs to use their moment in the spotlight for their own personal gain. But a teenage boy is going to do what a teenage boy is going to do—am I right?
So when we watched as Daniel worked up the courage to ask his celebrity crush if she might be available to attend prom with him, we could do nothing but applaud his efforts and wait with baited breath to see what the response might be.
I'll have to ask Z.
There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. If you needed one more reason to love and obsess over Gigi, her adorable response to Daniel's prom proposal is sure to send you over the edge.
BONUS: See some of Gigi's best moments from SI Swimsuit!

Cops held by NPA to be freed this week
The rebel group agreed to release the cops on the condition that a five-day ceasefire will be observed
MANILA, Philippines – Four policemen held by the New People's Army (NPA) in Northeastern Mindanao are set to be released, more than two weeks since they were captured.
In a statement on Sunday, July 27, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said the National Democratic Front (NDF) agreed to free the policemen on the condition that a five-day ceasefire in six towns of Surigao del Norte will be observed.
On July 10, communist rebels attacked a police station in Surigao del Norte and took 4 cops as "prisoners of war (POWs)."
The rebels identified their prisoners as Police Officer 3 Vic Calubag Concon, Police Officer 1 Rey O'niel Morales, Police Officer 1 Joen Zabala and Police Officer 1 Edito Roquino.
Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas said the NDF in North Eastern Mindanao Region (NDF-NEMR) agreed to substantially reduce their conditions for the safe release of the cops.
He said the group originally asked for a 10 day-ceasefire in Surigao City and 14 municipalities in the mainland of Surigao del Norte.
"We have talked with the NDF about the release of the four policemen since the NDF scrubbed the turnover scheduled for June 25," Roxas said.
"On Saturday, July 26, the NDF-NEMR informed Secretary Roxas through an emissary that the NPA units holding the four policemen are amenable in releasing their captives if government security forces will agree on a five-day ceasefire covering six towns in Surigao del Norte, namely Placer, Bacuag, Tubod, Gigaquit, Alegria and Claver," Surigao del Norte Governor Sol Matugas added.
Peace talks between the government and the National Democratic Front (NDF) remain at a standstill. Roxas and Matugas reiterated their commitment to a peaceful resolution of issues between the government and the rebel group. – Rappler.com

In All But Four States, Seniors on Medicare Can Be Denied a Medigap Policy Due to…
In All But Four States, Seniors on Medicare Can Be Denied a Medigap Policy Due to Pre-existing Conditions, Except During Specified Windows of Opportunity
In all but four states, insurance companies can deny private Medigap insurance policies to seniors after their initial enrollment in Medicare because of a pre-existing medical condition, such as diabetes or heart disease, except under limited, qualifying circumstances, a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis finds.
Medigap policies provide supplemental health insurance to help cover the deductibles and coinsurance for Medicare covered services. One in four people in traditional Medicare had a Medigap policy in 2015.
This new analysis of federal law and state regulations shows that only Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York require Medigap insurers to sell policies to all Medicare beneficiaries ages 65 and older either continuously during the year or for at least one month per year. In all other states and the District of Columbia, insurers may deny a Medigap policy to seniors, except during their initial open enrollment period when they start on Medicare, or when applicants have other specified qualifying events, such as the loss of retiree health coverage.
Depending on their state, Medicare beneficiaries who miss these windows of opportunity may unwittingly forgo the chance to purchase a Medigap policy later in life if their needs or priorities change, or if they choose to switch to traditional Medicare after several years of being in a Medicare Advantage plan.
The brief provides new national and state-by-state data on Medigap enrollment, and describes federal and state-level consumer protections that can affect seniors' access to Medigap.

Q: use Builder pattern combined with protected access modifier I'm reading a book in Design Patterns, and below is some code example used by the author. The author tries to build a html builder as:
public class HtmlElement
{
    public string Name, Text;
    public List<HtmlElement> Elements = new List<HtmlElement>();

    public HtmlElement() { }
    public HtmlElement(string name, string text)
    {
        Name = name;
        Text = text;
    }
    // factory method
    public static HtmlBuilder Create(string name)
    {
       return new HtmlBuilder(name);
    }
}

//builder class
public class HtmlBuilder
{
    protected readonly string rootName;
    protected HtmlElement root = new HtmlElement();
    public HtmlBuilder(string rootName)
    {
        this.rootName = rootName;
        root.Name = rootName;
    }
    public HtmlBuilder AddChild(string childName, string childText)
    {
        var e = new HtmlElement(childName, childText);
        root.Elements.Add(e);
        return this;            //fluent api
    }

     // to return a HtmlElement object
    public static implicit operator HtmlElement(HtmlBuilder builder)
    {
        return builder.root;
    }
    public override string ToString() => root.ToString();
}

then the author says:
"To simply force users to use the Builder whenever they are constructing a HtmlElement object,  we have hidden all constructors of HtmlElement class as":
public class HtmlElement
{
   ...
   protected HtmlElement() { }
   protected HtmlElement(string name, string text)
   {
      Name = name;
      Text = text;
   }
   ...
}

so users can go like
HtmlElement root = HtmlElement.Create("ul").AddChildFluent("li", "hello").AddChildFluent("li", "world");

Console.WriteLine(root);

here is what I don't understand, the author changed the access modifier of HtmlElement's constructors to protected, which means that HtmlBuilder class cannot access to the protected constructors like
protected HtmlElement root = new HtmlElement();    // not allowed

so does it mean that we need to let the HtmlBuilder inherit from HtmlElement? But they are no inheritance context at all, so how can I modify it?

A: That code is wrong. The builder class cannot have access. The author probably intended to use the factory method.
I do not agree with the author at all.
Never try to force users to use classes in a certain way just to fit a pattern. The whole point of the builder pattern is to reduce complexity when building objects, not make it harder.
The builder pattern is most often used when a chain of objects are being constructed and not simple objects like an HTML element. For instance you can have a CarBuilder which constructs a car with an engine, transmission, and all other objects required to get a functional car.
You might have a SafeCarBuilder which uses a stronger chassi but the same engine and a FastCarBuilder which uses the default chassi but adds a turbo to the engine.

Mumps in Manitoba: 61 cases since September
Provincial public health officials confirmed today that cases of mumps continue to be reported in Manitoba. While the majority of cases are people between 17 to 29 years of age and are connected to the University of Manitoba, the University of Winnipeg and Université de St. Boniface, some cases are not connected to these sites.
Image/EOZyo
The majority of affected individuals are students and live in Winnipeg. With the holiday season approaching, students may be attending events or returning home and, if infected, could spread mumps to people in communities throughout the province and elsewhere.
Manitoba typically experiences four to five cases of mumps every year. Between Sept. 1 and Dec. 8, 61 cases have been reported in Manitoba.
Public health officials in the regional health authorities investigate each case of mumps and identify the people they may have been contact with and the locations. Where appropriate, people will be offered immunization. Individuals with mumps will be asked to restrict their contact with others to reduce the possible spread of mumps. Public health officials will continue to monitor the situation in Manitoba and provide updated information as necessary.
The mumps virus can be passed on to others when an infected person passes fluids from the mouth and nose to another by sharing drinks, food or cigarettes; by kissing; by coughing or sneezing within a few feet of another person.
To reduce the spread of mumps, people should:
wash their hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available,
avoid sharing drinking glasses or eating utensils,
cover coughs and sneezes with the forearm or a tissue, and
stay home when sick.
Although there can be rare complications from mumps, the vast majority of cases are mild, with full recovery in one to two weeks. Key symptoms include swelling and pain in one or more salivary glands, usually on both sides of the face, and fever.
The mumps virus can be spread to others from two to three days before and four to five days after symptoms appear. Some people infected with mumps may not have any symptoms at all, but can still spread the virus to other people.
In Manitoba, a two-dose measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine program was introduced in 1996. Protection against mumps is offered free-of-charge as part of Manitoba's routine immunization schedule at 12 months of age and again at four to six years of age. Health-care workers and students may also be eligible. Manitobans should contact their health-care provider to determine if they require this vaccine.

Oral Roberts' son, his wife face scandal at university
Oct. 6, 2007 12 AM PT
From the Associated Press
tulsa, okla. -- Twenty years ago, televangelist Oral Roberts said he was reading a spy novel when God appeared to him and told him to raise $8 million for Roberts' university, or else he would be "called home."
Now, his son, Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts, says God is speaking again, telling him to deny allegations in a lawsuit that threatens to engulf this 44-year-old Bible Belt college in scandal.
Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.
His wife is accused of dropping tens of thousands of dollars on clothes, awarding nonacademic scholarships to friends of her children and sending scores of text messages on university-issued cellphones to people described in the lawsuit as "underage males."
At a chapel service this week on the 5,300-student campus known for its 60-foot-tall bronze sculpture of praying hands, Roberts said God told him: "We live in a litigious society. Anyone can get mad and file a lawsuit against another person whether they have a legitimate case or not. This lawsuit . . . is about intimidation, blackmail and extortion."
San Antonio televangelist John Hagee, a member of the university's board of regents, said the executive board was "conducting a full and thorough investigation" of the allegations contained in the lawsuit of three former professors.
Colleagues fear for the reputation of the university and the future of the Roberts' ministry, which grew from Southern tent revivals to one of the most successful evangelical empires in the country, hauling in tens of millions of dollars in contributions a year. The university reported nearly $76 million in revenue in 2005, according to the IRS.
Oral Roberts is 89 and lives in California. He holds the title of chancellor, but the university describes him as semi-retired. His son presides over day-to-day operations on the campus, whose modern, space-age design from the early 1960s now looks dated.
The three former professors filed their lawsuit on Tuesday against the university and Richard Roberts, alleging they were wrongfully dismissed after reporting the school's involvement in a local political race.
Richard Roberts, according to the suit, in 2005 asked a professor to use his students and university resources to aid a county commissioner's bid for Tulsa mayor. Such involvement would violate state and federal law because of the university's nonprofit status. Up to 50 students are alleged to have worked on the campaign.
The professors said their dismissals came after they turned over to the board of regents a copy of a report documenting moral and ethical lapses on the part of Roberts and his family.
The internal document was prepared by Stephanie Cantese, Richard Roberts' sister-in-law, according to the lawsuit.
A university student repairing Cantese's laptop discovered the document and later provided a copy to one of the professors.
It details dozens of alleged instances of misconduct. Among them:
A longtime maintenance employee was fired so that an underage male friend of Mrs. Roberts could have his position.
Mrs. Roberts -- who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as the university's "first lady" on its website -- frequently had cellphone bills of more than $800 per month, with hundreds of text messages sent between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. to "underage males who had been provided phones at university expense."
The university jet was used to take one daughter and several friends on a senior trip to Orlando, Fla., and the Bahamas. The $29,411 trip was billed to the ministry as an "evangelistic function of the president."
Mrs. Roberts spent more than $39,000 at one Chico's clothing store alone in less than a year, and had other accounts in Texas and California. She also repeatedly said, "As long as I wear it once on TV, we can charge it off." The document cites inconsistencies in clothing purchases and actual usage on TV.
The university and ministry maintain a stable of horses for exclusive use by the Roberts' children.
* The Roberts' home has been remodeled 11 times in the past 14 years.

Michel Desjoyeaux (Concarneau, 1965. július 16. –) francia tengerész és szólóvitorlázó. Az egyetlen, aki kétszer is megnyerte a Vendée Globe megálló nélküli földkerülő szólóvitorlás versenyt: a 2000/2001-es és a 2008/2009-es kiírást.

Összesen több, mint 25 nagy futamot nyert. Beceneve: "A Professzor".

Élete
Michel Desjoyeaux édesapja Henri Desjoyeaux, aki elindította az egyik első vitorlázást oktató iskolát, a Les Glénans-t, később a La Forêt-Fouesnant jachtkikötő és vitorlázó képzési központ alapjait tette le. Így Michel Desjoyeaux-nak és öt testvérének már gyerekkorától kezdve lehetősége nyílt a vitorlázásra. Michelt később Eric Tabarly képezte tovább, és 1985-ben – 20 évesen – vele együtt vett részt a Whitbread Round the World Race (jelenleg Volvo Ocean Race) földkerülő vitorlás versenyen a Côte-d'Or hajóval.

1990-ben megnyerte a kétszemélyes transzatlanti versenyt, a TwoSTARt, Jean Maurel kapitánnyal.

A 2000/2001-es Vendée Globe-on a PRB nevű  vitorlással versenyzett. A versenyen egy ideig Yves Parlier vezetett, akitől sikerült átvennie a vezetést (később Parlier árbóctörést is szenvedett), és a Horn-fokig 670 tengeri mérföldes előnyt szereznie. Ám az egyenlítői vizekig a brit Ellen McArthur befogta, és többször váltották egymást az élen a Doldrums vizein. Ezután McArthur egy félig elsüllyedt konténerrel ütközött, ami lelassította, javításokra kényszerítette, és innen nem volt kérdéses Michel Desjoyeaux győzelme. Végül 93 nap 3 óra 57 perces idővel nyerte meg a versenyt.

2007 májusában Desjoyeaux új hajóra váltott. Ez pedig a Foncia, amely az IMOCA-60 (nyitott) osztály képviselője. A hajó az őt szponzoráló francia pénzügyi csoport, a Foncia nevét viseli. Ezzel a hajóval első futamán, 2007 júniusában Desjoyeaux új rekordot állított fel a St Nazaire–Saint-Malo-vonalon (Record SNSM). 2007 második felében megnyerte a Transat Jacques Vabre futamot.

2008/2009-ben a Fonciával Vendée Globe-győzelmet aratott újra, immáron másodszorra új csúcsot jelentő 84 nap 3 óra 9 perc 8 másodperces idővel.

2009-ben megnyerte a Regatta Isztambul Europa Race-t, isztambuli indulással, Nizza, Barcelona, Brest (Bretagne) kikötésekkel. A hajót később spanyol versenyzőknek adták el: Iker Martineznek és Xabi Fernándeznek, akik a 2010/2011-es Barcelona World Race-n második helyet értek el, az immár Mapfre névre átkeresztelt hajóval.

Desjoyeaux ebben az időben már a következő hajóját építette (vízre bocsátás: 2010. szeptember 20.), amelyet ugyanúgy Fonciának neveztek el.

Desjoyeaux La Forêt-Fouesnant-ban (Bretagne) él és edz, ahol a Marina Port-la-Foret-et, a távolsági vitorlás versenyek országos képzési központját az édesapja alapította.

Michel Desjoyeaux nős, három gyermek édesapja.

Even though I'm a senior (for a few more days, anyway), my senior spring semester course load wasn't a joke. I had an internship, a graduate-level history of art class, and two other courses. So how did I luck out so much with finals?
