The electric car has come a long way since the late 19th century. Improvements in battery technology and efficiency have led to faster, longer ranging cars that can recharge faster than ever. From the legendary Tesla Roadster to the affordable Ford ECOnetic, electric cars are becoming more and more popular and better and better equipped. It will be interesting to see how these new technologies will be put to use in the future of electric cars.
Wireless power was the dream of famous scientist Nikola Tesla. Using his ideas of resonant magnetic induction we are just now starting to make that dream come true. This innovation has reached the point that it is possible to make charging stations for electric vehicles that can do wireless charging almost as fast as a conventional wired connection station. As more and more recharging stations are built, this fast and less troublesome method of charging is the key to making electric vehicles more accessible to the general public. Who knows, as recharging technology advances, one day this may even become faster than using a gasoline station.
Modern electric cars are now fast enough for highway travel; the problem is range. The faster an electric car goes and the more energy it uses, the shorter the range. Most electric cars only have an upper range of 160km (100 miles) at most and many are below that. The lack of charging stations on highways and in general around the country is a major limitation to electric cars, forcing them to stay close to home or where stations are set up. Recent advances in batteries and charging methods have greatly reduced the cost of these stations though. It is this reduced cost that is allowing for more to be installed. More charging stations would mean the ability for electric vehicles to travel farther and farther, making charging less of a hassle and allowing for them to truly challenge combustion engine vehicles as major modes of transportation.
This is an advance that is actually happening with most modern cars but especially electrical cars. As things like voice recognition and touch screens become easier and cheaper to produce, they are starting to make their way into cars. Imagine a car dash like the dash of a computer with apps and the ability to adapt and be personalized to your custom preferences. These kind of displays and features make it easier to control the car and keep the functions and conditions we want in check. This may evolve into some sort of customized HUD display right on the windshield! Electric cars are especially able to handle these kinds of features thanks to a much larger on-board power supply than a conventional car has.
This advance is most common in hybrids but really all cars, hybrid, combustion and electric can benefit from this technology. Basically, there is a small alternator like device that spins when the brake is applied, to feed electricity back into the battery. This would extend the battery life even more in a conventional car, but in a hybrid or full electric this longevity is even more important. Hybrids with this feature can rely more and more on the electric battery and with full electric cars this can extend the range and capabilities of the car as a whole. As this process becomes more and more efficient it may one day convert most of the lost energy of braking, back into electrical power for the car!
This is basically a fancy way to say solar panel. The term solar car brings up images of strange and odd looking concept cars from "Welcome to Tomorrow" type car shows that never say much in production. Advances in this technology have allowed for more practical applications to make such car roofs more modern looking and harder to pick out from regular cars. These solar panelled electric cars, though they have longer range and battery life, take less time and cost to recharge and are less reliant on charging stations. One day, such technology may even remove the need for charging stations, letting electric vehicles charge for free in a sunny spot!

Rydal Mount School, Colwyn…
Rydal Mount School, Colwyn Bay. ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. The annual distribution of prizes in connection with Rydal Mount took place on Friday evening. The event is one which is eagerly looked forward to by the pupils and friends, preceeding as it does the Christmas holidays. Notwithstanding the very inclement weather, there was a large attendance in the handsome hall of the noble pile of buildings. Amongst those who accepted invitation to be present were Mr and Mrs Barlow, Mr and Mrs Turner, Mr Cowpe, Mr Bracewell, Mrs Wood, Mr and Mrs Newton, Mr and Mrs Robertson, M. and Mrs J. A. Harrop, Mrs Westbrook, Mr Lancaster, Mr and Mrs Webster Dean, Mr and Mrs Shelly, Mr. and Mrs. J, M. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Mouls- dale, Rev, J, and Mrs. Briggs, Mrs, Gunton, Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. J. L. Barker, Mr. J. V. Early, Witney Mr. A. E. Sutcliffe, Rev. J. Hornabrook, Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Lewis, Rev. J. Sewell Haworth, Mr. F. G. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Mitchell, Rev. H. and Mrs. Waterworth, Dr. and Mrs. Lord, Mr. and Mrs. Hammond, Miss Hovey, Miss E. Hovey, Rev. T. E. and Mrs Freeman, Mr. and Mrs. Heenan, Mr. and Mrs. Bevan, Mr. and Mrs. E. Douglas, Mrs. and Miss Rhodes, Mr. and Mrs. Plews, Mr. and Mrs. Oldham, Rev. H. and Mrs. Elderkin, the Mis-es Elderkin, Miss I. Tonkin, Mrs. and Miss Pryce-Jones, Mr. W. Pryce-Jones, Mrs. and Miss Harrop, Mr. and Mrs Guest, Rev. J. and Miss Robinson, Rev. T. and Mrs. Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs. Linekar, Mr. and Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. Nuttall, Mr. Glover, Mr. and Mrs. Bradburn, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Chettle, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Jones, Mr and Mrs. Dicken, Mrs. Little, Miss Clayton, Miss Johns, Mr. and Mrs. Kettlewell, Mr. N. Kettle- well, The Misses Smith, Miss Sowerbutts, Mr. and Miss Barlow, Mrs. and Miss Bell. Mr. J. L. Barker of Bowdon, occupied the chair, and he was supported by the Headmaster, Mr. T. G. Osborn, M.A., J.P., the Rev. F. J. Briggs, and Mr. J. V. Early, of Witney. After the proceedings had been opened with prayer by the Rev. F. J. Briggs, boys capital choir rendered Mendelssohn's part-songs (a) "The Woods," and (b) Early Spring," in a manner which was very much appreciated by the audience. THE HEADMASTER'S REPORT. The Headmaster, on rising to present his report, was received with loud applause. He said that his report would be less formal than in pre- vious years. They did not generally make the matter too formal. He would make a few remarks to the friends who had come on such a disagree- able night to the event, and to them he extended a hearty welcome. The occasion was a peculiar one, and they had not gone far to get a stranger in the chair. It was, therefore, more in the nature of a quiet family gathering. He was glad to see Mr. Barker in the chair, and also to see "old" boys who had done them the honour of being present on the occasion, and some of whom he was glad to say were governors themselves, but were too modest to come on the platform. (Laughter and applause,) They had had a happy year's work, and had got on well together. There had been little difficulties, and a little for- getfulness, but nothing to break the pleasantness of the year. The health ot the school was good, although they had had one or two scares. One boy was taken ill, and they tried to prevent more cases. They did not succeed in preventing that altogether, but they put the pupil at home, and if they did not break up the school they would have had a hospital there. The year had been a year of progress, with special achievements. It was the first time they had been admitted to the Oxford and Cambridge examinations which placed them on a level with the highest school in the Kingdom. They had not taken the highest position, but they had got on well for the first time, and more than half of the successful candi- dates were new, and that was a thing not to be ashamed of. They had got a large proportion through in their examinations. Examinations were one of the most important things in educa- tion. It would not do to undervalue examinations and substitute various devices in their places. Being a master himself he might not be an im- partial judge, but unless some better substitute be found than those suggested it would be bad for children unless they had examinations. In- spection meant taking boys by the class, and unless there was individual culture and work they were not going towards success. Amongst the other substitutes was notification, which was introduced in America, and which had been very successful there, and he could quite believe it. (Laughter). The headmaster could say at the end of the term, such and such has done well, and then he will be sent to the University and have a scholarship. It saved the trouble of examining. It would be very popular amongst his young friends, if they only got the right side of him, and he could assure them it was a very easy matter. (Laughter.) Notification was coming; he could see it coming. He remembered the days when most scholarships at the colleges were not

The Temperance Movement in…
The Temperance Movement in North Wales. HOUSE OF LORDS CONDEMNED. Sir Herbert Roberts, M.P., presided at the annual conference at Abergele on Thursday of the Denbighshire and District Temperance As- sociation, at which there were present a large number of delegates. In his address Sir Herbert Roberts urged that temperance wasi the rock on which Wales would build its local self-government. If Wales had the power to settle the, question in its own way they would quickly decide it and a step forward would be made. (Applause.) In his opinion temperance was one of the foundation stonet upon which they would develop their hirfi na- tional character, temperance work and religion going hand in hand. (Applause.) Wales was determined in the next Parliament to demand the passing of the Welsh Veto Bill and amend- ment oi the Welsh Sunday Closing Act. (Ap- plause.) Mr H. E. Prichard (Abergele) urged that tem- perance voters should be asked to support the candidates who were prepared to vote against the House of Lords having the power to veto such measures as the Licensing Bill. He pro- posed the following resolution:—"That this Association expresses its appreciation of the efforts of the Government for the promotion of temperance and its condemnation of the action of the House of Lords in frustrating and de- stroying those efforts that while it recognises that the question of.. the House of Lords must be the predominating issue in the approaching mo- mentous election, this Association emphasises the importance of keeping clearly before the elec- torate the two temperance measures relating to Wales, viz., the Welsh Local Veto Bill and the Welsh Sunday Closing Act (Amendment) Bill, and expresses the hope that all the members of Parliament for Wales will give these measures a prominent place in their election addresses." Mrs T. M. Jones (Colwyn Bay) seconded, and the reso-liutiorn was carried with applause.
Denbighshire Territorials.
Denbighshire Territorials. A meeting of the General Purposes and Fin- ance Committee of the Denbighshire Territorial Association was held at Chester on Thursday. Mr Jelf Petit presided. Plans of the proposed alterations to the Drill Hall at Denbigh were passed, and it was de- cided to forward them to the War Office for sanctioni. The Drill Hall is to be enlarged to accommodate the Yeomanry of the Welsh. Bor- der Mounted Brigade, as well as an infantry Company. Owing to the financial loss to the Association,, it was decided to take proceedings against certain members of the 4th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers who had failed to make themselves efficient. The question off the supply of boots to the men of the Territorials was considered. The As- sociation had supplied every man who went to camp for a fortnight with a pair of boots, a shirt, and braces. A lettet was received from the War Office stating that the Army Council had decided not to allow County Associations to purchase boots for the men owing to various difficulties of issue and storage. The Council stated that it was desirable that the boots worn in camp should be those worn by the men or- dinarily, and they suggested that inducements by way of compensation for wear on military service should be given to the men to provide themselves with boots of a paittern which, while suitable for military purposes, would also be useful to them as civilians.

ILlanrwst County School.
Llanrwst County School. ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. A SCHOOL THREE HUNDRED YEARS OLD. INTERESTING ADDRESS BY MR. R. M. HUGH JONES, M.A., J.P. The Church House at Llanrwst was, on Thursday evening, filled to overflowing on the occasion of the County School prize distribution. The chair was occupied by Colonel Sandbach (Chairman of the Governing Body), and he was supported on the platform by the Rev. J. I. Farr, headmaster. The prizes were distributed by Mr R. M. Hugh Jones, M.A., J.P., Rhyl, son of the late Archdeacon Hugh Jones, Rector of Llanrwst, and a former pupil at the school. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said that the school had dome exceedingly well during the year which endted in July. The Gov- ernors had entcDeavoured to rid themselves of the inadequacies of the buildings, but unfortunately they were stopped by the higher power. There was a scheme prepared for dealing with the whole of the County Schools throughout the county, and awaiting that scheme the Education Authority had, for the present, shelved this as well as other improvements so that others were also in the same box as themselves and at a standstill. He hoped the delay would not be long, but that in six months' time they would be allowed to proceed with the plans already in hand. He, with the other Governors, con- (gratulatedi ltIhe boys and gtirls who had won prizes during the year, but he would like to re- mind them that although it was good to win prizes, the object was gained by the hard, work that it necessitated in preparation for the exam- ination. They rejoiced at successes in the school, yet they should remember that the local- ity was but a .small spot of the Empire, and should not confine themselves to parochial mat- ters at home. It was well to know that there were many Welshmen who had risen to the ranks of fame yet they must extend that and not for- get that there were also Englishmen who had also done well. He asked them not to confine themselves to Wales alone, but to the great Brit- ish Empire, which was the greatest Empire the world had ever seen. (Applause.) Mr. Farr gave statistics of the school, and said the numbers were steadily increasing. Their pupils this year numbered 121, consisting of 62 gtirls and 59 boys. Only during one year had this number been exceeded, when the number was 129 but he hoped, with the new buildings, they would yet increase. Speaking tOo one of the Inspectors the other day, he enquired where their school stood as compared with others, when the Inspector replied that the schools were divided into three classes, namely A, B, and C, and Llanrwst was well up in the A class. (Loud applause.) Speaking for himself, he would much like to have the new buildings com- plete in 191 o, because the school dated from 1610, and it was then celebrating its tri-cen- tury. He also would much like to have a field for games. (Appllause,) The sneaker dealt with the 1851 scheme that was in operation when he entered' the school thirty-five years ago, and that went on to 1879; then there was a change, in 1894. He woruld like to see more commercial preparation in the school, one part for that branch and the other a university branch and he hoped they would branch it off on those two. lines. THE SUCCESSES. The successes gained by pupils during the year were as follows — Central Welsh Board, Senior certificates: Annie Pierce Jones, David Austen Jones, Ellen Mary Jones, Jane Catherine Jones, Nancy Jones, William Arthur Jones, Samuel Williams. Junior certificates Louisa Jane BamweU, M. J. R. Jenkins, R. G. ililoydi, J. R. Morris, Ann Jane Owen, H. 'H. Roberts, R. E. Roberts, W. A. Roberts, Robert Bagshawe Wynne. Oxford Local Senior certificate: Herbert E. Jones. Matriculation examintation- of the University of Wales Annie Pierce Jones (in four subjects). Preliminary certificate examination William _F. Barnwell, John Glyn Jones. Mr R. M. Hugh Jones was then called upon to distribute the prizes. The following were the successful schglars:- Form V. Nancy Jones. Form IV. I, Louisa Jane Barnwell; 2, Anne Jane Owen. Form III.: i, Catherine Louisa Keates; 2, Katherifne Williams; 3, Ellen Williams.

Form II.: I, Thomas Edward Roberts; 2, John Rees Jones; 3, Idwal Jones; 4, John Thomas Jones. Attendance: John Rowland Morris, Robert Bagshawe Wynne, Griffith Trevor Jones, Thomas Edward Roberts, John Thomas Jones. A DEBT OF GRATITUDE. Mr. R. M. Hiugh Jones said he felt it a great honour to be there by the invitation of the Governors as an old boy to distribute the prizes and to render any service he could to his. old fiiend Mr Farr. He would not say how long it was since he first entered the school as a new boy," because some of his old friends and schoolfellows were present, and he would' not give them away for anything. (Laughter.) But he belie;ved that he and his five brothers could claim to have established a record as a family in connection with that school, because for a continuous period of 21 years, with a gap of only a few months, one or more of them were receiving their education there. They owed a great debt of gratitude to the old school, and he rejoiced to see and hear such evidence of its good work and prosperity. (Aipplause.) Much tilad 'been klone isiince his day, to improve its equipment and increase its general usefulness. In the first place, it was now a dual school. (Hear, hear.) Instead of having about 30 boys, as when he first knew it, there were now 58: boys and also 56 girls. New buildings had been added, including laboratories for science teach- ing, which was then not thought of, and further buildings were in prospect to. meet the increas- ing .numbers and growing requirements of the sr school. But there was still one thing lacking, which he regarded as an almost indispensable adjunct of a school, namely, a good field for games. (Cheers.) He hoped that some means might be found to remedy this deficiency. He fully admitted that: the cult of athletics might be, and often was, carried to excess. He was no advocate for that. But he was nevertheless a firm believer in the great value of organised school games, not only as a means of physical training, but also for mentall and moral training. There was more practical headwork involved in games of cricket and football, especially for the captain, of his side, than might appear to the uninitiated. And to learn to play up and play the game," to take a beating well, without losing heart or temper, to do one's best not for oneself, but for one's side and for the credit of the school,—these were some of the lessons of endurance and pluck, fair DiLaV, and esprit de corps that might be learnt on the school playground. (Applause.) A MODERN DANGER. Much might be said as to the changes which had taken place and were still talcing place in the curriculum of secondary schools. He still had a copy of "SaJbciruae Corolla," the well- known collection of Greek and Latin prize verses, Which he had received as a boy at that school as a prize for Euclid. He supposed both Ðudåd and IÆJtÎiIb verses were things of the past there now. But the choice of such a prize for a mathematical subject would indicate nretty clearly the predominance held by the classics in the school at that time. Still, if the curricu- lum in those days was somewhat narrow, and framed rather in the interest of the few than of the many, the teaching was, he thought, sound and good as far as it went. And the danger to- day in secondary schools was rather from the great multiplicity of subjects and the endless ex- aminations, which distracted and dissipated the energies of the teaching sltaff. There was a danger of forgetting that real education was d. process which could not be rushed," but re- quired time and thoroughness: that the young mind must be al/Lowed to develop and grow naturally, without being either forced or crammed that it was still a good rule to do one thing at a time, and to do it well, and that a scholar, as his name implied, must have leisure. It was impoissible to teach efficiently side by side in one school, with the limited staff and time available, the od subjects and the new. The consequence was that Greek had practically disappeared from schools of this character and Latin was .gradually dwindling. He could not help thinking that the solution would be found partly in a further reform of the curriculum and partly hi greater differentiation of schools; scholarships wouild be needed to enable the few really promising boys, for whom the local school might be inadequate or unsuitable, to pass on to the special type of school required. He did not know whether it was necessary or advisable to spend K> much money as was now spent on bursaries in payment of the ordinary school fees: the most profitable expenditure would be directed to strengthening the teaching staff, be- cause the efficiency of the teachers was the most viftal thing to the interests of the scholars. In conclusion, he congratulated the head- master and his colleagues and the school gener- ally upon the report which they had heard that day. (Loud applause.) A Shakespearean song, "Under the Greenwood 'Tree," having been rendered by the girls, a series of Morris Dances were gone through, to traditional airs. The dancers were Grace Price Evans, F. Jenkins, Blodwien Jones, Eurolwen Jones, Jane E. Jones, Mary Dilys Jones, Lucy Nock, Annie E. Roberts, Doris Roberts, Menai Williams, Mona Williams, and Phyllis Wynne. The dances were well done, the movements of the juveniles being most graceful. This was followed by a shiort sketch entitled Mrs. Poyser has her say out." The characters were:—Martin Poyser, J. R. Morris; Mrs. Poyser, Elis Hughes; Squire Donndthome. Thomas E. Roberts; Modly, Louisa J. Barnwell; Betty, Katherine Williams. A second sketch entitled Enoc Huws" was performed in Welsh. The characters were Enoc Huws, E. Thomas Roberts; Marged Pari, A. P. Evans; Jones y Plisanon, Thomas Idwail Davies, The accompanist throughout was Miss Edith Holt The usual votes of thanks having been ac- corded, the meeting closed with the singing of the two National Anthems, three girls leading with the solo in unison.
given by examination. A celebrated man the other day had a cousin who had some hunters, and he gave the principal amount, with the result that he got a scholarship. This was was coming on again. He knew that examinations were considered a plague, but they were a great bene- fit to the pupil and the school as a whole. They had been pressed unduly in the past, but there was a danger of a pendulum going too much the other way. After alluding to a work on Arche- ology of the North of England which had recently appeared from the pen of one in that school, Mr Osborn proceeded to say that he was much indebted to the masters for their co-operation in school work examination and sports. They must not forget the sports, which were an important part of training at school. He was grateful also to his old friend, Dr. Rogers, Mr. Linekar, and to Mr. Claxton, for their help in their respective departments. (Loud applause.) The Bijou Orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Win. Claxton, gave a pleasing rendering of the entr'acte, Passe Pied." DISTRIBUTING THE PRIZES. The Chairman, who was cordially greeted, likened the gathering to a nice family party. He created much mirth by relating an anecdote of a gentleman and a boy from Eton at a cricket match at Lords. The gentleman asked the boy how he was getting on, and the boy replied that the headmaster was all right if it wasn't for those rotten governors. (Laughter.) He was of opin- ion that a man of letters should have been there to present the prizes, and he (the speaker) had done his best to be excused from occupying that position, but he had failed. (Laughter.) How- ever, he knew a little about it. The occasion was one to encourage the boys, and they would value the past in years to come. He was glad they were going to abolish Euclid. He never could see anything in it. (Laughter.) He would advise the boys to stick to things they did not like. They should persevere, so that in future years they would be glad that they had done so. (Applause.) The pupils were then called up by the Head- master to the stage for their prizes—handsome books. The boys applauded with much vigour as each prize winner received his prize. The Headmaster stated that nine-tenths of the school had gone in for arithmetic, and only one boy had failed. One boy—Barlow—had got the maximum number of marks in his certificate, and Mrs. Lancaster, the mother of three boys at Rydal, had given a prize for the average bat, which was won by E. J. Selby, the boy who won the open scholarship last year. A. E. W. Dean had also won a prize for shorthand. The following is a list of the prize-winners :— Form Prizes. —III., J. R. Moulsdale L. IV., G.

After the "Hunting WSong" from "Dorothy" bad been sung by the choir, Mr J. V. Early, of Witney, said he had four sons who had been to Rydal, and if he had forty more they should all go there for their education. (Laughter.) He missed some faces amongst the seniors^ in which he took a peculiar interest, and one of them now had two boys of his own. They must look for another generation of Rydal Mount boys, to maintain the splendid traditions of that school. He loved the motto, Prodesse quam conspici of the school. It taught him a lesson when he read it. He was much impressed when he read in Conan Doyle's History of the Boer War," that Lord Roberts had written to a friend have kept myself fit in case of an emergency." And Lord Roberts was an old man now 70 years of age. Lord Roberts knew that it was no use a spongy man going out. The boys of that school knew what it was to be fit on the football field. He would like to see a hundred yards handicap for governors over fifty. It would be a fine thing for those rotten old governors." (Laughter.) What better in life could they do than keep themselves fit for the work God had for them to do ? One of his chief interests was in watching his boys going out in life. His third boy was not very distinguished at that school, but he was now studying for an University College Hospital, and was trying to make himself fit for that part of Mission work. It ought to be their duty, their joy, and their privilege to keep them- selves fit to uphold the grand motto of that noble school. (Loud applause.) The Rev F. J. Briggs congratulated the boys upon their successes. There was a tendency of successful boys, however, to be "cocksure," and those who had failed had been spared that. 1 When he was in school he wished himself in the Coral Islands. It was part of the system of education in facing that which was difficult. Darwin was no use at school, and no use at the University, and his father thought he would make him a parson. (Laughter.) If he had been made one, he had no doubt he would be a good one. He was very much in earnest. He observed and thought, and that was particularly necessary in education. And through these two things had Darwin excelled in science. He would miss the boys while they were on their holidays, which he hoped they would enjoy, and return fit for more work in the New Year. (Applause.) Rousing cheers in the true Rydalian manner were given for the Headmaster, Mrs. Osborn, the Masters, and for the holidays. The proceedings in the hall concluded with the singing of the Vacation Song, the music of which was composed hy Dr. Roland Rogers, Mus. Bac. (Oxon.). In this all the boys in every part of the room joined lustily in the singing, the last verse of which is as follows And when dear Rydal schoolboy days Are past and gone for ever, And in life's strife we seek the praise That waits on high endeavour, From touch of shame we'll guard thy name, Whate'er should be our essay, Thy motto still shall guide our aiiii- Quam conspici, prodesse: litirrah hurrah I the song upraise, As blithe as bells for bridal Ring out the praise of holidays, All merry hearts of Rydal." Refreshments were served to the guests prior to departure, and the preparations for Christmas joys were heard on all sides.

</RelativeLayout>

but text value is cut off with "...", which is the problem?

Dinamically I have a simple activty with scrolling movement:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.text.method.ScrollingMovementMethod;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
        t.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
        t.setSelected(true);
    }
}

Thank you in advance
SOLUTION: not set setMovementMethod but only setSelected(true) if is necessary. See comments in Yvette answer.

A: I took this out
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

and added the features from your previous question HorizontalScrollView cut the text in a TextView and autoscorlling

Earth is 2,000 light years closer to the Milky Way's supermassive black hole than previously thought – CBS News
Harry Miller
A new map of the Milky Way created by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan shows Earth is spiraling faster and is 2,000 light years closer to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy than was previously thought.
In 1985, the International Astronomical Union announced that Earth was 27,700 light years away from the black hole, named Sagittarius A*. But a 15-year analysis through Japanese radio astronomy project VERA found that the Earth is actually only 25,800 light years away. They also found that Earth is moving 7 km/s faster than they previously believed.
Sagittarius A* and black holes of the like are dubbed "supermassive" for a reason — they are billions of times more massive than the sun.
But the NAOJ said there is no need to worry, as the latest data does not indicate the planet is "plunging towards the black hole." It just means there is now a "better model of the Milky Way galaxy."
Position and velocity map of the Milky Way Galaxy. Arrows show position and velocity data for the 224 objects used to model the Milky Way Galaxy. The solid black lines show the positions of the Galaxy's spiral arms. The colors indicate groups of objects belonging the same arm. The background is a simulation image.
NAOJ
Using the VERA Astrometry Catalog, scientists created a position and velocity map that lays out the center of the Milky Way galaxy and the objects that reside within. The first VERA Astrometry Catalog was published this year and includes data for 99 objects.
Positioning indicates that Earth orbits the Galactic Center, where the black hole is located, at 227 km/s. Astronomers originally thought the orbit was at a speed of 220 km/s.
"Because Earth is located inside the Milky Way Galaxy, we can't step back and see what the Galaxy looks like from the outside," NAOJ said in a press statement. "Astrometry, accurate measurement of the positions and motions of objects, is a vital tool to understand the overall structure of the Galaxy and our place in it."
VERA, Very Long Baseline Interferometry Exploration of Radio Astrometry, was created in 2000 and uses interferometry to aggregate data from radio telescopes located throughout Japan. Through the project, scientists can create the same resolution as a 2,300 km diameter telescope, which "is sharp enough in theory to resolve a United States penny placed on the surface of the moon," NAOJ said.
NAOJ scientists are hoping to gather data on even more objects, with a focus on those that are close to Sagittarius A*.

NASA cuts short ground test of its giant moon rocket – Al Jazeera English
The test is a vital step in NASA's Artemis programme to put the first woman and the next man on the Moon in 2024.
NASA ignited all four engines of a deep space exploration rocket – the Space Launch System (SLS) – for the first time on Saturday, but the "hot fire" test ended much earlier than expected.
Mounted in a test facility at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, the SLS's 212-foot (65-metre) tall core stage roared to life at 4:27pm local time (22:27 GMT) for just more than a minute – well short of the roughly four minutes engineers needed to stay on track for the mega rocket's first launch in November this year.
During the live broadcast of the test, NASA did not explain the reason for the early shutdown, but Wayne Hale, a former manager of NASA's space shuttle programme, suggested a "major component failure".
Well MCF was not a call this ascent flight director ever wanted to hear: Major Component Failure is detected by the SSME controller.
— Wayne Hale (@waynehale) January 16, 2021
Completely concur. Very valuable. Now the discussions will begin as to whether there was enough data collected or if the test needs to be rerun – either way that engine will likely be changed out. Of course the experts will probably tell us at the post test conference shortly https://t.co/523kXgoVl5
The fiery show, the last leg of NASA's nearly year-long "Green Run" test campaign, was a vital step for the space agency and its top SLS contractor, Boeing, before the rocket's debut launch in November.
The success of that unmanned mission, called "Artemis 1", will set the stage for the first landing on the Moon by humans since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. US President Donald Trump has pushed for that trip – which will also see the first woman on the Moon – to happen by 2024.
It was unclear whether Boeing and NASA would have to repeat Saturday's test, a prospect that could push the debut launch into 2022.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine, speaking at a news conference after the test, said the agency "got lots of data that we're going to be able to sort through" to determine if a do-over is needed.
NASA's SLS program manager John Honeycutt cautioned the data review from the test is continuing and told reporters the turnaround time for another hot fire test could be roughly one month.
The expendable super heavy-lift SLS is three years behind schedule and nearly $3bn over budget.
Critics have long argued for NASA to retire the rocket's shuttle-era core technologies, which have launch costs of $1bn or more per mission, in favour of newer commercial alternatives that promise lower costs.
By comparison, it costs as little as $90m to fly the massive, but less powerful, Falcon Heavy rocket designed and manufactured by Elon Musk's SpaceX, and some $350m per launch for United Launch Alliance's legacy Delta IV Heavy.
While newer, more reusable rockets from both companies – SpaceX's Starship and United Launch Alliance's Vulcan – promise heavier lift capacity than the Falcon Heavy or Delta IV Heavy, potentially at a lower cost, SLS backers have argued it would take two or more launches on those rockets to launch what the SLS could carry in a single mission.
Reuters reported in October that President-elect Joe Biden's space advisers aimed to delay Trump's 2024 goal, casting fresh doubts on the long-term fate of SLS just as SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin scramble to bring rival new heavy-lift capacity to market.
NASA and Boeing engineers have stayed on a 10-month schedule for the Green Run "despite having significant adversity this year," Boeing's SLS manager John Shannon told reporters this week, citing five tropical storms and a hurricane that hit Stennis, as well as a three-month closure after some engineers tested positive for the coronavirus in March.

NASA is about to finally test fire its future Moon rocket – The Verge
Four huge rocket engines will roar to life on Saturday, in a crucial test for NASA's powerful next-generation rocket. This long-awaited trial run won't leave the ground, but it will be so powerful that officials have warned that it may be heard up to 60 miles away.
Saturday's test is the last step in series of tests that NASA calls a Green Run for the Space Launch System (SLS), a powerful rocket designed to launch missions to the Moon and deep space. It will test the 212 foot tall core of the SLS, which consists of four engines, liquid fuel tanks, and the computer and technical systems that NASA calls the "brains" of the rocket.
The rocket was originally intended to debut in 2017, but it has consistently been over budget and behind schedule. Now, NASA will finally have a chance to see how the rocket's systems work while the four engines are firing ahead of the SLS' first launch later this year. Engineers and technicians have already tested the core's backup systems, run through dress rehearsals to double check-timing, and loaded and unloaded hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel ahead of the big event. Now they just need to put it all together for the first time to really mimic a launch.
"To be able to run a test like this, it takes not only a village, but small city," said Ryan McKibben, the Green Run test conductor at Stennis Space Center, in a press conference. It will take six barges to haul more than 700,000 gallons of super cold propellent needed for this test — roughly 200,000 gallons of liquid oxygen, and 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen.
The four engines themselves were originally built for NASA's Space Shuttle program, which ended in 2011. They've been updated with upgrades including new engine controllers to get them ready to become part of the SLS. When the engines are fired, they will produce 1.6 million pounds of thrust — more than enough to send the core soaring. "When we ignite the engines, the stage actually will think it is flying. That's what it's built to do," McKibbin said.
While the core of the SLS is built to fly, the massive test stand is designed to keep it firmly grounded. The huge structure is anchored into the ground with over 144 feet of concrete and steel that will absorb and redirect the thrust from the engines, McKibbin said. The engines will burn for about eight minutes — approximately the same amount of time that it will take to launch the rocket to the Moon on future missions.
This is the last big rehearsal for the rocket before it heads to space, which means it's also one of the last chances for NASA to get data on how the rocket might perform. The team plans to run the engines through the same thrust changes that they will eventually endure when they fly through the Earth's atmosphere. The core stage is packed with over 1,400 sensors to help document all aspects of the test and gather data that NASA will analyze intensely over the next several days after the test.
"The reason we test is to uncover issues on the ground and not in space," said Julie Bassler, SLS stages manager, at a NASA press conference this week. "We are doing everything we can to ensure that we get the most out of this hot fire test and we are ready to launch."
If the test is successful, the core stage will be inspected and shipped to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, where it will be joined to other parts of the rocket and the Orion crew capsule. Sometime after that, the SLS will make its launch debut on the uncrewed mission called Artemis 1. That mission doesn't have a firm date yet, but NASA is aiming for that launch to happen in November 2021.
Even as the SLS heads for space, it's worth noting that it is not the only deep space rocket on the horizon. SpaceX is rapidly prototyping its Starship system in Texas, and the Starship design is being considered as a candidate lunar lander for future NASA missions.
The window for the SLS hot fire test opens at 5:00PM ET, and coverage on NASA TV will start at 4:20PM ET. NASA's livestream coverage can be found on YouTube and on the agency's website.

AMC's Walking Dead Spinoff Snags Two-Season Order, Premiere Date
By Michael Ausiello / March 9 2015, 11:38 AM PDT
AMC's Walking Dead spinoff officially has a pulse — and a strong one at that.
The cabler announced Monday that it has greenlit the still-untitled offshoot for not one but two seasons, with the first six episode season launching in late summer.
The series, which will be set in Los Angeles, stars Cliff Curtis (Gang Related), Kim Dickens (Deadwood), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm).
"We feel empowered by this two-season commitment, a serious show of faith from our network partner AMC," exec producer Robert Kirkman said in a statement. "I personally take it as a sign that they believe, like we do, that we've accomplished our goal of developing something original that can pay tribute to the original show and expand the world I created while at the same time having something new to say with this story. I'm very grateful that we now have the opportunity to tell this amazing story and show the fans that we really haven't scratched the surface yet when it comes to The Walking Dead."
Added AMC prez Charlie Collier: "We take incredibly seriously the notion of building a satisfying companion series to the number one show on television. From the beginning of The Walking Dead on AMC, we've been asked questions about what was going on in other parts of the zombie apocalypse, and what it looked like as the world really did 'turn.' Through this new series, we're going to find out. Robert Kirkman, Dave Erickson and their writing team, along with an incomparable set of producers, cast and crew have created something remarkable and clearly distinct. We respectfully follow the request of Monty Python as we bring out (the latest of) our Dead."

A Copa da Superliga Argentina de 2019, chamada oficialmente Copa de la Superliga Argentina YPF Infinia de 2019, é a primeira edição dessa competição argentina de futebol profissional organizada pela Superliga Argentina de Futebol (SAF), entidade ligada a Associação do Futebol Argentino (AFA). O torneio começou no dia 12 de abril e término marcado para 2 de junho.

Com o Campeonato Argentino de 2018–19 reduzido a 25 rodadas, o jeito encontrado pelos clubes para esticar a temporada foi a criação da Copa da Superliga. O torneio reunirá apenas os times da primeira divisão e será disputado em mata-mata. O campeão ganhará uma vaga direta na Libertadores 2020. Mesmo com a Copa da Superliga, a Copa Argentina continuará sendo disputada.

Regulamento
A Copa da Superliga começará a ser disputada no dia 12 de abril e tem término previsto para 2 de junho. São cinco fases: as quatro primeiras fases serão em jogos de ida de volta e a última fase (a grande final) em jogo único em um campo neutro; o campeão se classificará para a fase de grupos da Copa Libertadores da América de 2020 e o vice-campeão para a Copa Sul-Americana de 2020.

A competição será disputado no sistema "mata-mata" pelos 26 clubes participantes da primeira divisão do Campeonato Argentino de 2018–19 (Superliga Quilmes Clásica 2018–19). Os 6 times argentinos mais bem colocados do campeonato nacional entrarão nas oitavas de final e os 20 times restantes disputam a primeira fase, no seguinte chaveamento, 7º colocado duela com o 26º colocado, o 8º colocado com o 25º colocado e assim por diante. A equipe com a melhor colocação na classificação final do campeonato argentino disputa o jogo de volta como mandante.

Calendário
As datas dos confrontos da competição foi revelado pela Superliga Argentina no dia 27 de março de 2019.

Participantes
As equipes serão posicionadas de 1–26 de acordo com suas colocações na classificação final da temporada da Superliga Argentina de 2018–19. As posições da 1–6 entrarão diretamente nas oitavas-de-final e as posições da 7–26 disputarão a primeira fase da competição.

Primeira fase
A primeira fase foi disputada pelas 20 equipes colocadas do sétimo ao vigésimo sexto na classificação final da Superliga Argentina de 2018–19, em partidas de ida e volta. As equipes com a melhor colocação na Superliga Argentina de 2018–19 ganharam  o direito de ser o mandante na partida de volta. Os 10 (dez) vencedores qualificaram-se para as oitavas de final. Por conta da igualdade no placar agregado (ida e volta), a disputa por pênaltis foi empregada para o desempate de três confrontos, deste modo, o Godoy Cruz, San Lorenzo e Talleres (C) venceram seus rivais e avançaram pra próxima fase. Os demais classificaram-se por conta de um placar agregado superior aos seus adversários, como foi o caso do Aldosivi (4–3), Argentinos Juniors (4–3), Estudiantes (LP) (2–1), Gimnasia y Esgrima (LP) (3–2), Lanús (3–2), Tigre (3–2) e Unión (4–1). A regra do gol fora de casa acabou não sendo utilizada para qualificação em nenhum dos confrontos.

1. Are your toner cartridges really that different than typical remanufactured cartridges?
2. What is the difference between OEM, Compatible, Remanufactured, and Renewed cartridges?
3. What is "Yield" and why is it important?
4. What is Cost Per Page (CPP) and why is it important?
5. Why should I return my empty cartridges to CCS?
6. I keep seeing the term, "Split Cartridge." What does that mean?
7. What happens if I return my OEM cartridge back to the manufacturer?
8. What type of maintenance should I perform on my laser printer?
9. How often should I clean my laser printer and how do I do that?
10. Can you service my Printer?
1. Yes! Most cartridge remanufacturers cut the cartridge in half in order to refill it with toner. At CCS, we never split the cartridge in half! Doing so would create a fractured seam, which is where 80% of reman cartridge leaks start. Instead, we disassemble every cartridge by hand, replace ALL critical components, and then reassemble by hand. Click here to see more details.
Compatible - These are cartridges that are new, but are made by a manufacturer that is NOT the OEM. Beware of these cartridges. They are often made with inferior plastic cores.
Remanufactured - These cartridges are often used because of their low cost and environmental friendliness. However, the remanufacturing process usually involves cutting the plastic core in half. After refilling, the two halves are then glued or clipped back together. This "fracture zone" is where 80% of leaks occur.
Renewed - CCS Certified Renewed cartridges are disassembled by hand, all critical components are replaced, the cartridges is then reassembled by hand and the highest grade of toner is used to fill the cartridge.
3. Yield is the expected number of 5% covered pages a toner cartridge can print before print quality suffers. The ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) set this 5% measurement to help manufacturers clearly state how many pages their cartridges could print. Click here to see examples of different percentages of page coverage.
4. Cost Per Page (aka: CPP) is determined by dividing the price of the toner cartridge by the expected yield. Click here for an example of how two different printers' CPP affect the bottom line.
5. It's better to return your empty toner cartridges to CCS than to either the OEM or a recycling center because of our proprietary renewal process. OEMs typically grind up empty toner cartridges or ship them overseas. At CCS, we actually REUSE the toner cartridge instead of just recycling it. Click here for more information about what we call "pseudo-cycling."
6. Split cartridges are ones that have been cut in half in order to refill them with new toner. Click here for photos and more information.
7. You will probably be surprised to know that most OEMs either grind up returned cartridges or ship them overseas. Click here for more information about what we call "pseudo-cycling."
8. Like your car, your laser printer will give you years of good performance if you take care of it regularly. To help you with this, we have put together a Basic Printer Maintenance instruction sheet. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions or comments.
9. You should clean your printer each time you change your laser toner cartridge. Here is a Printer Cleaning instruction sheet to show you how. Please feel free to call or email us if you have any questions or comments.

The state of South Carolina is where the real warmth seems to kick in down south. Its coastline is its major attraction, although the primary interstate, I-ninety five, runs much additional inland. To see the seaside attractions in South Carolina, take I-17 starting with Myrtle Beach.

I am Devon based singer songwriter and guitarist with a growing following around the UK I came to performing later in life after returning to the UK following many years overseas, composing and writing by myself. After tentatively venturing out into public, I was knocked sideways by the positive response and haven't looked back since. In 2015 I released an EP titled "Comfortable Hatred" and in 2017 I released a first full length album: "A303" which received a great response, including a **** review in R2 magazine.


I disagree that track 11 is too 'triumphant' for the dark theme of slavery here. The music plays as the English ship destroys the slave fortress at Lomboko. For those of us who know the ultimate future of the slave trade we see it as a defiant first step to destroying slavery. The music at this point isnt about Cinque and the other Amistad slaves winning thier case, its about the overall theme of deciding to fight aginst evil.


"God's north for you only needs courage to be realised."
Suzanne Waters, on the night of her retirement, is suddenly faced with a series of unexpected crises.
Whilst driving home from the event, Suzanne's heavily pregnant daughter-in-law Jessica begins having contractions. Alone, and far away from anyone else, help finally comes from the most unexpected of sources: Eli, a troubled young man with dreadlocks, who sees a lone, stranded car and decides to steal it.
But when Eli discovers the pregnant woman in desperate need of a hospital, he knows he needs to make a choice.
Steal the car or save a life.
In one miraculous moment, the directionless lives of Eli, Suzanne, Jessica, and her husband David, are all brought into collision with each other. Together, through pain and personal struggle, they will discover not only how much they will come to need each other, but that God has a plan for each of their lives.
Their very own True North.
I think it's fair to say that the Christian film industry is going from strength to strength at the moment, despite being still quite a niche industry. With films like "War Room", "Risen" and "God's Not Dead 2" having some reasonable success, particularly in the US Box Office. the UK market is proving a harder one to crack, but thankfully we do get these releases on DVD and as they are not big budget, eye-popping special effects bonanza's they carry themselves pretty well.
The latest one to come across our desk is the rather good "God's Compass" which is a well-paced emotional story about love and also finding God's will in our lives, and following it, sometimes when it could cost you everything. When you have watched a few of these films you will notice that there are some actors and actresses that seem to do the rounds within these titles. Karen Abercrombie and T.C. Stallings are two who are both in "War Room" and this title. This time they play a Mother, Susan, and Son, David which is great because it is an easy dynamic to accept.
Once again Karen is cast as someone older than she is, yet she is quite believable as the retired principle who is facing a number of issues. Clearly she still misses her late husband, but was proud that he lived long enough to see their son become a Doctor. Her husband had been a wise minister at his prime and passed on advice to the current minister of the church who Susan consults for advice through this time, and he passes the same advice that she already knows in her heart back to her. Her son David is the head of the ER in the local hospital, but is driven to be the best at the cost of attention to his wife and child. He is split between his job and his family and the urgency of his work often wins.
These situations are brought to a head when Jessica, Susan's heavily pregnant Daughter in Law is driving alone when she starts having early contractions. She has left her phone behind and is stranded and in serious medical difficulty. At that moment Eli turns up, having been living on the streets, sees a stranded car and a woman inside and decides to steal the car, but in the moment knows that the right thing to do is to get Jessica to hospital. This comes with a risk because he is known and wanted by the police. When he gets Jessica to the hospital he is arrested and held over for sentencing.
Thanks to Eli's help Jessica and her baby survive, although the baby needs to have intensive care treatment because it is very premature. Unaware of his arrest Jessica asks Susan to find the boy, which she does and visits him in jail and at that moment feels compelled to help him in any way she can - but she doesn't know why.
I know that is a long overview of the story and I have tried not to spoil the twists and turns and there is a way to go before the resolution. Each character here must go on a journey, and that's a good thing because otherwise there is no point in the storytelling. Because it is a film you know that certain things will happen. Susan, for example, has the courage of her convictions to help the boy - but this costs her, financially, emotionally and even spiritually. David has a choice between the striving of work and building a career and his family. Marital strife is quite often an element of Christian films. It's not got the prominent place in the plot that it has in films like "Fireproof" or "Courageous" but it's there in the background and is a serious element played very well by the actors and creative crew of this film.
Eli is played by Joey Ibanez who plays his character brilliantly. There is a hardness to the character, but also an immense vulnerability which is hard to pull off. I do think the description above put out by the studio is quite funny"Eli, a troubled young man with dreadlocks" I am not sure what the dreadlocks have to do with anything other than convey someone's prejudice!
There are some funny, almost true to life moments which steal scenes. For example the family, with Eli, get together to pray for the baby undergoing surgery in a family waiting room and as they start to pray one guy close to them looks uncomfortable and edges away. I love these little moments! They make the film feel real and grounded which works well.
This film has a lot of depth to it on an emotional level. It is brilliant at tugging the heart strings, like a very good TV movie. At some points the director has tried something different, such as a chest-camera for David when he is running home and venting his frustration and having an epiphany. There are other bits of this movie where there are some tracking shots which judder slightly, this is probably due to the films conversion process to the UK / European standard rather than the director or the cinematography. Overall this film just works on the right levels. The Christian message is not so heavily put across as in some films, but more about a reliance on God and letting Him lead.

Logic Didn't Need To Come Out Of Rap Retirement For 'Bobby Tarantino III' Album
1 year ago Rogan Lyon
Logic claimed he was retiring from rap following the release of 2020's No Pressure, which would have put the cap on a six-year Def Jam run that produced six studio albums and a handful of mixtapes along the way.
But unsurprisingly, the bespectacled rap nerd reemerged in 2020 with a project called Planetory Destruction under the alias Doc D. The album was a throwback to the golden age Hip Hop that he so desperately clings to and contained features from some of the era's top tier artists at the time — Del The Funky Homosapien, Ghostface Killah and Tony Tone, to name a few.
Then in April, Logic announced he'd formed a super duo with prolific producer Madlib called MadGic, a portmanteau of their monikers. With the industry seemingly at his fingertips, Logic was poised to deliver what could've been a dream project for Hip Hop purists everywhere — Madlib beats, high profile guests features from Hip Hop legends and the Def Jam stamp of approval. But instead, he gave fans Bobby Tarantino III, the third installment in the Bobby Tarantino mixtape series.
From the pointless album opener "Introll" — which finds him just saying, "Yeah, yeah, hey, yo, 1, 2" a ridiculous number of times to the predictable "get off my dick" anthem "Vaccine," this album is largely forgettable.
But perhaps the most flagrant quality of the project is Logic's tendency to unapologetically bite other artists, a theme consistent throughout his career. The Doc D superhero alias? MF DOOM did it first. His flow on the trunk-rattling "See You Space Cowboy?" Sounds like he's consciously trying to emulate Kendrick Lamar. Going to the middle of nowhere to record his next and final project for Def Jam? Kanye West.
Even when he's trying to sound emboldened on the woozy, guitar-ladened "Get Up" with the lines, "I'm too up, like a layup/I walk up in Def Jam like 'Fuck y'all, pay up," it comes across as disingenuous. Despite his platinum numbers and the clout that presumably follows, it's impossible to envision Logic coming at anyone — especially label executives — with that kind of destructive energy.
But Logic gives brief insight into why he might perpetuate a phony image on the subdued yet pleasantly breezy "Theme For The People" in which he raps, "I get introspective on a record with a message deep in the lyrics/But after a while, that shit get depressing, they don't wanna hear it/They just wanna turn up so that's when I come back on that Bobby Tarantino/Counting money, sipping vino shit/It's how we stay relevant to the young." He then admits he'd "rather be rapping on breaks/But whatever it takes to get to the young."
In spite of Logic's best efforts to conform, the beats he chooses to rhyme over, this time largely produced by 6ix and MTK, are the only elements that slightly set him apart from the homogenized rap that currently dominates the mainstream. But that's neither a good or bad thing in this case; many of them fail to hook the listener and fade into obscurity faster than he came out of retirement.
There's also no territory here that hasn't been explored before — "Call Me" is a blatant recycling of his Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hit "1-800-273-8255" and finds him, once again, being that proverbial shoulder to lean on. Not to say that isn't admirable — we all struggle — but at this point it feels more like a crutch he uses when he has nothing better to say.
Logic's biggest issue is no matter what he does, who he works with or how many syllables he's able to rattle off in a single bar, there's no escaping his penchant for corny raps. Hearing him pontificate about "pussy" on the incredibly flat "Flawless" (that comes with a chorus stolen from TLC's "Waterfalls") is cringeworthy and feels like another attempt at trying to be someone he's not. Needless to say, this one could've been left in the vault as he prepares to fire off his final Def Jam album.
Let's just hope he saves the best for last — at least for his fan's sake.
REPEAT ME:
FAN FEEDBACK:
Logic.!!! Lol this dude. I gotta stop fronting on bro. Man was WASHED for like 4 projects in a row. But this Bobby Tarantino series has honestly become somewhat special to me. What a come back. Iss only one song I don't like out of 10. What a tape. Wow 😭👏🏿🙌🏿🙆🏿♂ #BobbyTarantinoIII
— Sha'Carri's Plug 🏁 (@C_Moralez) August 14, 2021
Bobby Tarantino 3 is not it and I love Logic 😭💔
— Rindai (@Rxndai) August 20, 2021
Forgot this in the drafts:
I felt bad for a year that I never wrote a review of Logic's "final" album. It was a really nice sendoff with some pretty great bops. But now with Bobby Tarantino III, it's a display of rushed, basic beats and an unwillingness to let good things lie.

Developing countries must be helped to tackle climate change, says Sturgeon
June 19, 2019, 6:01 pm Updated: June 19, 2019, 7:47 pm
Nicola Sturgeon spoke about the need for climate justice (GCU/PA)
It is impossible to tackle the climate crisis without recognising the need for climate justice, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
Speaking at the Global Climate Justice Forum at Glasgow Caledonian University on Wednesday, Scotland's First Minister said some of the countries most impacted by climate change have often been those who have contributed least to it.
She said countries that have become prosperous partly as a result of greenhouse gas emissions must help other countries.
"The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident in developed countries – we are seeing more extreme weather events such as severe storms and droughts," she said.
"But of course, the consequences are far more serious in many developing nations.
"For island and low-lying nations, climate change poses an existential threat.
"Many other counties are facing humanitarian emergencies as a result of drought or flooding.
"That in turn can lead to a mass displacement of populations.
"The countries which are most affected are usually those who have done least to cause climate change."
Ms Sturgeon also said the most vulnerable members of society – the very old and the very young – as well as women, have been disproportionately affected by climate change.
"It is impossible to properly tackle the climate crisis without recognising the need for climate justice at the heart of everything we do," the First Minister said.
"Countries like ours, which have become prosperous partly as a result of greenhouse gas emissions, need to help those that are being impoverished right now as a result of greenhouse gas emissions.
"Scotland is determined to do our bit, to play our part, to live up to our moral responsibility."
The First Minister has already declared the world is facing a "climate emergency" and has pledged Scotland will play its part to help combat rising temperatures.

Outlining Scotland's commitment to tackling the global climate crisis, Ms Sturgeon also announced details of the Big Climate Conversation, which aims to engage with thousands of people and businesses about the steps they can take to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The First Minister said people from across the country must work together in order to achieve Scotland's climate goals.
Ms Sturgeon said: "All of this has to be a truly national endeavour. And it has to be done in a way that is fair.
"That's why the Scottish Government is launching the Big Climate Conversation to encourage communities, businesses and the public sector to talk about what action we can all take.
"Our public engagement programme under the Big Climate Conversation will launch next week.
"There will be consultation events around the country with communities and businesses; we will help organisations to stage their own events, and we will reach many more people through digital communications.
"We hope to reach thousands of people and organisations to hear about their concerns, priorities and ambitions.
"We want to understand what changes Scottish people are willing to make and what they want Government to do to tackle the global climate emergency."
