Weekender Map
Ada Loveshake
Hamburg DE
Imke Keyssler a.k.a. Ada Loveshake got her name from lovely milkshakes when she was a teenager. Milk is the perfect ingredient for Swiss cheese and love is the perfect ingredient for the Swiss Soul Weekender. A perfect match!
She started deejaying in the mid 90s at Tupperware and stag parties but has been growing deeply into Soul and Rare Soul for about 15 years now. Since 2010 she is part of the all-female-deejay-collective «45° Degrees Soul Club Hamburg» with a regular Nighter at Molotow Club Hamburg. She also deejayed at events such as Hamburg Soul Weekender, Movin' On Barcelona, For Dancers Only Hamburg, Motte Allnighter Hamburg and Upon My Soul Dresden.
She loves and plays all styles of soulful music, 60s as well as 70s and a bit of 80s and contemporary recordings - as long as a tune gets her it needs a place in the box!
So spread the love and shake your legs with her favorite 5 spins:
Step By Step - I Always Wanted to Be In The Band (Zafiro)
Jerry Washington - Don't Waste My Time (Glades)
Barbara Trent - Heart Break Hotel (Red Label)
Joni Adams - Las Vegas (Zodiac)
Carol Jones - Don't Destroy Me (Mutt)

Andreas Beraha
Copenhagen DK
Andreas Beraha, ladies and gentlemen.
All things soulful on original vinyl, dove into the rarer end of soul & funk seriously about 5 years ago (plenty more years half-assed before) and barely come up for air since. From sunny Southern California, now calling Copenhagen, Denmark home.
Currently running Soul Underground, a semi-monthly night focusing on rare, underplayed and up-front sounds with a developing list of international guest DJs. Co-hosting the 60's only Jackpot! Rhythm & Soul Club nighter with Wilde Dave. DJ booking and promotion for Brass Monkey, Copenhagen's only Tiki bar. He's very much looking forward to a spot on our NTY Alldayer and we as well are very excited and delighted.

Buddy Flo
Z-rich CH
We got to know Flo when he moved into Henning's old flat. An acquaintance, as they occur only in movies. And how often in movies, there's also with Flo a happy ending.
Flo Matt a.k.a. Buddy Flo has not only the flexibility, which he proudly shows off at the Soul Yoga Sessions but also a nose for the exquisite black gold. He particularly likes the Rrrolitas that really hit deep into the heart and play on one's heart strings. But in his collection you'll also find some Modern Soul mover that make you throw your hands and clothes in the air.

Davide Borello
We would like to introduce you to a true family member and fratello of the Swiss Soul Club!
Davide Borello from Milano is the youngest lad of the crew. His name «Borello» has nothing to do with «bore» in any way. His heart is full of passion and when I say full I really mean it's jammed of passion! He has lots of love to give and invests every free moment in diggin' for records that let his feelings escalate. He is doing this since 2010 and since he got into this genre he discovered a new musical dimension for himself and enjoys to meet a bouquet of new people he has never thought of getting in touch with. When you talk to him you will notice that he is like a chameleon, perfect cockney accent - no problem, talking german - why not?, saying a fluffy Gruezi - easy, bro.
Music-wise, expect anything reaching from Funk to Modern/ Disco Soul, with a tip of the cap to indie/little budget productions and Sweet/Deep territory, too. If you want an extra bite of the cake don't forget, he co-runs Milano-based Nighter «Santeria Soul Alldayer» whilst going solo on «Slow Sundays» radio show.
A few 7inches he'll probably be dropping during his sets at the Weekender are:
Pat Stallworth - Questions (Fly-by-Night)
T. M. S. feat. Jimmy Graham - Get The Feelin' (Showcase Records)
The Almighty Sonics - Do The Bump (Empire)
Eko - Love Can Be Happy (Bad Boys)
The Revells - I Want A New Love (Trent Town)
Diggin' Dave
Ghent BE
Get ready for Diggin Dave!
He's the man! But only complete with his lovely wife Klaartje. And when he is able to play bicycle race on a computer as much as he can.
When I first saw the amazing sales lists from Diggin' Dave on Soul-Source I thought he is an old cool good-looking black guy cause of his avatar picture. First time I saw him in reality was a bit deflating cause he turned out to be young, white and good-looking. After a little chit-chat emotions ran free and there was time for love. What a great guy!
Now to something completely different, namely the records: When he moved to Ghent to study he passed a record store, was mysteriously drawn in and was immediately hooked. So badly in fact that he had to start selling some records to fund his expensive habit.
He likes all music styles from delta blues to ghetto tech and within the broad Soul spectrum. He tries to find the good things in all genres instead of specialising in one thing. He tries to make it as fluent as possible but there might be some Boogaloo, Funk, Latin, Modern, Crossover, Disco, Northern and everything in between. He doesn't care too much about rarity, as long as it gets the feet moving he's a happy man. To get him really excited just give him a Julientje (with a Glennie burger on the side).
I think nearly everybody bought records from him in the past but not many saw him DJing although he already played at Bilbao Weekender, Filthy Soul, Movin' On, some local things and of course their own Sweet! Alldayer.
His current Top 5 are (in no particular order):
Mr. Lucky - Born to Love You
Black Exotics - I Hate Hate
Popcorn - Song for You
Johnny Raymond Quintet - Malagueña
The Soul Injection - Stay off The Moon

DJ Pesa
Lucerne CH
DJ Pesa, ladies and gentlemen!
It all started with granny's record player and his parents' collection. Beatles, Stones, The Who and The Doors were those to inflame his passion for music of the 60s and 70s. Rock music was quickly followed up by Soul, Funk, Jazz and Rap.
For 20 years now he is known as DJ Pesa. Though DJing became a minor matter for the family father his main focus is diggin' deeply in crates for the treasured vinyl.
Since 2012 he is hosting his own radio show «Lost&Found» on national radio station SRF Virus. He loves to discover his own forgotten records in his collection while preparing his shows and that he can play stuff that wouldn't be played on any dancefloor.
People shouldn't ask him about the number of records he owns cause he doesn't know - as most of addicted collectors don't! Cause the answer is always the same: «It's still not enough!»
We're very much looking forward to Pesa DJing at the NTY cause we're absolutely thankful for his support and his understanding of the craziness of collecting vinyl.

Fabian Bohl
Basel CH
Fabian is based in Basel and record collector since school days. Mainly into classic 60s Northern Soul, Detroit, mid-tempo and beat ballads but also genres such as Early Reggae and 6Ts Beat.
Not really a DJ but rather listener and collector, he loves his Juke Box and entertaining his neighbours with far too loud and much too good music. It is what's in the grooves that counts!
Top of Fabian's box:
Jock Mitchell - Not a chance in a million (Impact)
The Cautions - No other way (Shrine)
Bobby Kline - Say something nice to me (MB)
Jimmy Wallace - I'll be back (Alpha)
Little Nicky Soul - I wanted to tell you (Shee)

Flo Dalton
Flo Dalton... and there's nothing else left to say.
This man actually moved to Switzerland because of its cheese and for some specific birds he likes to watch. After living here for a few days even the bus drivers started welcoming him by name and high-fiving his bald head. Besides that he spins some heavily scratched records with Rocksteady, Reggae and Mariachi on them. He loves to dance to House and knows every Techno track by heart (which he tries to sing along).
As a proper member of the Swiss Soul Club cranking crew he's also in charge of the Off Beat Floor which you'll be able to enjoy on Friday night.

Fu Man Chu
Zürich CH
Phuoc Ngo a.k.a. is one of the organisers of the NOT TOO YOUNG Swiss Soul Weekender and the busiest Soul Traveler we know. He loves fancy hotels and uptempo Soul but recently he had to confess that he gets more and more into Modern Soul. So we will be very excited to listen to his sets during the 5th edition of the NTY...

Funky Fever Crew
DJ Murphy, Dan and Wab = L.O.V.E.
"Funky Fever" is a party label which takes place every first Saturday of the month in Lucerne. The series was launched nearly 20 years ago in the Bar 57 with Dj Black Virus and experienced - thanks to DJ Murphy - its revival in the Bar 59.
Now Funky Fever has been inviting for over 6 years almost all Funk and Soul DJs from Switzerland as a guest. Even some international DJs rocked the turntables, such as Tobias Kyrmaier (DE), Mr. Thing (UK), Skeme Richards (US), Amir Abdullah (US), Amerigo Gazeway (US) or Double D (DE).
Another highlights were the performances by the bands "Breakestra» (US), the "Mighty Mocambos» (DE) and the "James Brown Tribute Show".
Behind the label are the vinyl freaks DJ Murphy, Dan and Wab who you can meet for a chat with beer also every Wednesday in the Haifish Bar in Lucerne (or at the Co-mix Remix record store of course). The Funky Fever lives the motto "Save The Vinyl" and remains an event for Funk and Soul freaks, for breakdancers, for old school rap lovers and for those who like to move to Black Music. Boom!
Deep, deep thanks from our music-lover-hearts for the long lasting support that we get from those young and good-looking men....

Hendrik Irmscher
Berlin DE
Hendrik Irmscher, ladies and gentlemen!
(Not to confuse him with Henning. He's just his soul brother!)
Having started collecting 45s in early 2000, he set in his record journey by collecting 70s Powerpop/Mod and 60s Garage. At that time, he began DJing and organizing some regular parties in Berlin. He has been specializing in collecting Northern Soul and Rare Soul 45s. Recently he started promoting bigger events under the flag of «Soul'd Up - Berlin». Twice a year they celebrate an Alldayer and Allnighter with international guest DJs.
Here are some of the previous spots he played at besides Soul'd Up:
Hip City Soul Club Berlin NYE Special
For Dancers Only Hamburg
STUSA Rare Soul Weekender Chicago
Motte Allnighter Hamburg
ECSC Rare Soul Weekender Seattle
Cannonball Allnighter - Italy
Soulshakers Weekender Bamberg
Hamburg Soul Weekender
Next stop: NOT TOO YOUNG Swiss Soul Weekender!

Ill Dubio
Neuchâtel CH
First time we got to know the Soul Sociedad guys was in Neuchâtel during a film festival when they were hosting the Numero Group guys Rob and Kevin. We ended up drunk at David's place where I fell asleep on the couch in-between piles of 45s and LPs. Which was great.
Last year David a.k.a. Ill Dubio first joined a Spin Club Lucerne nighter and rocked the boat together with Emel and Henning. Later he joined the Alldayer at NTY15 together with Oskar from Soul Sociedad. This time he'll be ruling the decks on his own, dropping his mellow and exquisite stuff from Latin to Jazz to Funk to Disco to Modern Soul.
Oui oui, ça fait du bien.
https://www.mixcloud.com/illdubio/
Jakob Iller
Antwerpe BE
Here's Jakob from Antwerp, Belgium, also known as the "Cherry Man". He's been in the rare records game for well over 20 years and dabbled in all kinds of music... Reggae, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Prog Rock, etc. from the world over.
Jakob shared these records through many mixtapes made with his crew "After Hours" back in the 90s and through his now defunct blog Ridiculous Raw. Some of them still listenable on his Mixcloud (see link below below).
He is probably most known for his J. Dilla sample mixes "Donuts - The Blueprints" and "Shining Back" some 10 years back whom were heavily bootlegged shortly after being made available as a free download. Jakob won a gold medal in Mixcloud's Radiolympics ca. 2012 in the Funk category with a mix of deep funk classics.
Nowadays, after selling most of his collection, he sticks to his deepest love which is group harmony soul, preferably the slow kind. And that's why they call him the Cherry Man and that's what you can expect of him in Lucerne.
He already has announced to do either a 60s set with some Lowrider flavor or a modern sweet soul set. Or maybe something in between. And probably throw in a few dancers, too. It will move in any ways. And get everybody in the mood for making love...

Jean GrooveOldies
Berne CH
Jean is collecting records since 1970. Which is a long, long time to grow a heavy collection.
He turns his attention to Popcorn style (Belgium), New Breed, R'n'B and proper Northern Soul. His stage name is Jean GrooveOldies which speaks a lot for itself.
Jean is also organiser of the Biel/Bienne Soul Weekender, alongside Raphi Gruenig and some other soul enthusiasts. Save the date for the next edition: 9th to 10th September 2016. For more infos stay informed via Facebook page.

Kid Chocolate
Funky Passau DE
Kid Chocolate just discovered her love for Soul Music three years ago. It all started behind the famous DJ decks of the Innkraut Soul Club in Passau where she's still playing when she's around. You can expect some fine Soul Music from a refreshing point of view, from moving music to Modern!
https://www.facebook.com/hiwearela
Paul Klement
Leipzig DE
(Shades of Funk, RocknRule, Leipzig)
As a regular guest of the Funky Fever partys at Bar59 he knows how to move. He occasionally spins records since 2004 and started digging vintage vinyl, mainly 45's, in 2008. Collecting a wide range of styles, including R'n'B, Deep Funk, Northern & Modern soul, Mod Jazz and Latin, to name a few. In the past he had the pleasure to be resident DJ at the Monkbreakz/Absolution Festivalnight and take part at events like Polyester Club Leipzig, Soulicious Wiesbaden and Funky Fever Lucerne. He's looking forward to meet some interesting people and see the crowd dancing. Paul says "I'm happy to take part at the Swiss Soul Weekender, actually my first weekender" and we are happy to have him over here!
5 songs he'll probably play:
Push – You Turn Me On (Sound Of Seattle)
Brief Encounter – What About Love (Capitol)
Charles Sheffield – Voodoo Working (Excello)
Lou Lawton – Knick Knack (Wand)
Jack Hammer – Swim (Soul)
Pazi the Fist
Zurich CH
Pazi the Fist is resident DJ of the first hour of SMART Lion Zurich. Although the term «Fist» can associate intolerance, Andy is diverse in its musical interest: Northern Soul to Reggae to Ska, all these styles have a space in his collection and in his DJ sets. Again he will let us skank on the Offbeat Floor on Friday night.
http://www.smartlion.ch
Pinto Galli
Pinto Galli likes it when things involve authenticity and something special - different than the known. As diverse as his interests and his work are, so is also his musical curiosity - he's especially impressed and moved by Soul Music, which involve his heart and legs. In his record boxes, wild dance numbers are living peacefully next to obscurities. He loves his collection of music and often steals himself onto the dancefloor during his own sets.
He'll be playing a handful of exquisite and beloved records, including raw and classical Funk, further some Crossover, 70s Soul and Modern Soul, always with that certain 'speciality' and a little extra-Newton on the groove...
https://www.mixcloud.com/pinz
Raphi Gruenig
Bienne CH
The Master of Modern Soul Monsters and organiser of the Biel/Bienne Soul Weekender, alongside Jean Jean GrooveOldies and some other soul enthusiasts. Save the date for the next edition: 9th to 10th September 2016. For more infos stay informed via Facebook page.
Rude Lead
Oslo NO
Now get your hands up in the air for Rude Lead!
You may think: «Who is this wise Lumberjack-Fisherman?» He is not only wise, he is also one of the top young jocks at the moment. He is an expert at the knobs, buttons, triggers and faders behind the decks as we have been already impressed last year in Lucerne when he rotated like an octopus while mixing the songs perfectly together with love.
He already started his DJ career in Oslo around 15 years ago as a House and Techno DJ, but has now transitioned into one of Oslo's most dedicated collectors and DJs of Rare Soul and Boogie. You'll find him behind the decks in Oslo as resident at Soularium (we know he looks a bit pale but it's not solarium, it's SOULARIUM) and together with 4 of Oslo's finest record geeks at Diskotaket. When not spinning records, he also produces Hip Hop and Boogie on indie label/studio Stew Studio which he also co-manages.
His current Top 5 spins are:
Star Quad - Booty Shaker
Direct Connec Shun - He's No Good
Patrice Jefferson - Look Mama
J. Harris Band - Strange
Dee Brown & the Tears - Watergate Eyes
https://soundcloud.com/rude-lead
Scoundrel the Fatman
Tubingen DE
Scoundrel the Fatman is part of the RSS Crew Tübingen and resident DJ on the Hit & Run Allnighters alongside our beloved friend Michael Sulz. They will probably share a car to come down to Lucerne…
But more important: He'll give us the pleasure for the second time, playing his Early Reggae, Rocksteady and Ska records from vinyl only.
Sebo Sellout
Dusseldorf DE
Everyone loves Sebo.
Cause Sebo is the nicest guy on this planet. Moderate and always with a smile on his face. Must be the music he collects that keeps him a happy person.
As a Graphic Designer with roots in Graffiti and Street Art he always has been close to the HipHop side of things, collecting the banging and deep and rare 45s, with jazzy drums and of course a proper portion of Soul in it. His connection to Lucerne didn't come out of nowhere. He has been sharing the same office with Emel, forcing her to listen to mixtapes he burned on CD for her (back in the days) - from Kon & Amir etc. - to show her that she knows nothing. Ha!.. He would call it «sharing is caring» which he'll do a second time at the NTY.
So if you listen to Sebo you will be happy, too. Because his music is contagious. Which is great.

Spin Club Lucerne
SPIN CLUB LUCERNE [spɪn klʌɓ luɕɜɻɲ]:
Lucerne's Rare-Soul-crafters number one and flagship of the Swiss Soul Club. The party label stands for vinyl music of the 60's/ 70's/ 80's dished up by the self-styled but definitely treasured nerds Henning Boogali (f.k.a. Boogaloo) and Emel Ilter. «Strictly-original»-proved.
They are into soul music you might come up against scarcely, mostly preferring obscure tracks. Still they appreciate the classical 60's (Northern) Soul sound and create a respectable mixture of oddish but catchy styles. They are two personalities who have bats in the belfry without any doubt – which they proudly present behind the DJ decks while DJing back-to-back, doing some proper Four Tops moves.
https://www.mixcloud.com/Spin_Club_Lucerne
Thee Snufferer
Cologne DE
Thee Snufferer (Right On Time, Cologne)
It all kicked off in 1983 with the Clash. He just had to buy his first ever record on the school yard because he previously heard «Safe European Home» on the radio. The fact that he didn't own a record player at that time was a mere detail.
Since that moment he developed a keen interest for 60s and 70s music via the usual suspects Powerpop, Garage, Punkrock, Oi! and a brief excursion into Soul & RnB. Then Two Tone came along and built a more solid foundation for his love of Early Reggae, Rock Steady and Ska.
He's currently the resident DJ and the host of RIGHT ON TIME in Cologne, resident DJ at the BANG BOOM BOSS Nighter in Oberhausen and regularly gets invited to various events on the European Early Reggae circuit where he gives his cherished collection of original vinyl a spin every now an then.
And he will do so too on the Offbeat-Floor on Friday night. Reeewind!

Valentina Savio
Lugano CH
Valentina made her first moves into the so-called Soul Scene in the late 90s. Her hometown Genoa already had strong connections to Soul Music thanks to collectives like Black Trefoil Soul Club which is supposed to be one of the oldest clubs in Europe. Very quickly she found herself immersed in the Italian Niter scene and discovered Soul Music.
Regular visits to up-front clubs like "Breakout" (Milan), "Voice your Choice" (Vincenza), "Covo" (Bologna) and the Rimini soul Weekender since 2002 - which she is now promoting with friends, celebrating soon the 13th edition! - made her get deeper into it. Thanks to those events she had the opportunity to listen to great Soul Music provided by not only Italian DJs but also a lot of international guests.
But Italy wasn't enough. Soul Music made her travel to the UK frequently, to events like Cleethorpes and Fleetwood (Tent) which was the place for her to fall in love with 70s Soul and Crossover Soul. Most important reason for Valentina - besides dancing - is the chance to meet people and share the same interesst, not to say: passion!
She started collecting records recently and playing them on events. A woman who's so passionate about Soul Music definitely won't do wrong behind the decks! That's why we're so happy to give Valentina another opportunity to share her music and make people dance!
Here are some songs we will surely hear her play:
Loeatta Holloway – Worn Out Broken Out
Gene chandler – Without You Here
Peace Love and Happiness – Ain't Nothing But A Love Thang
Beloyd – Today Is All Day
Rivage – Strung Out For Your Love
Bobby Womack – I Can't Understand It

Benefits of green roofs: A systematic review of the evidence for three ecosystem services
Urban Forestry & Urban Greening. Vol. 28, December 2017, p. 167-176.
Jena, Germany: Urban & Fischer
TIC Keywords: Evaluations; Roofscapes; Turf values; Urban landscaping
Abstract/Contents:
"Green roofs are often claimed to provide a range of environmental, economic and social benefits, or 'ecosystem services'. These reported benefits, suggests that green roofs could play a significant role in sustainable urban development, and consequently green roofs are now widely used as tools in urban planning strategies. Accordingly, it is relevant to assess whether the benefits of green roofs and comparative advantages over conventional roofs rest on a robust evidence base. A considerable number of studies of the ecosystem services delivered by green roofs have appeared over the last few decades, but a rigorous assessment of the overall level of evidence is lacking. Using a systematic review approach, this study seeks to evaluate the documentation relating to three selected green roof ecosystem services: reduction of the urban heat island effect, reduction of urban air pollution, and reduction of building energy consumption. The number of studies quantifying effectiveness with original data was found to vary significantly from service to service: 17 studies reported cooling at street level ranging between 0.03-3 C°, four reported pollution removal at roof level e.g. removal of small particles, PM10, ranging between 0.42-9.1 g/m2 per year, and 41 reported on building energy consumption, of which 20 were comparable and claimed changes in annual consumption ranging between an increase of 7% to a 90% decrease. The large spans in documented effectiveness are ascribed to heterogeneity in context and design parameters of the identified studies. Analysis of the identified studies suggests that some parameters are of key importance for the effectiveness but further research is needed to clarify the complex relation between ecosystem service effectiveness and the parameters influencing it."

An important part of the COMSODE methodology is to make datasets available in an integrated fashion. One aspect of this integration is the alignment of datasets by linking entities from one dataset with the same entities from another dataset. In this blog post, we describe how we applied Spinque's Search by Strategy approach to linking vocabularies in the cultural heritage domain.
Many heritage institutions describe their objects using terms from predefined vocabularies. Linking these vocabularies aids the integration of the collections. Hereto, The Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision and Spinque teamed up to develop CultuurLINK. With CultuurLINK owners of a digital heritage collection can link their (internal) vocabularies to the Dutch cultural heritage hub. The hub contains several large vocabularies that are core for the community, such as the audiovisual thesaurus provided by the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision. Links to the vocabularies in the Hub enable richer descriptions for the collections, for example in the form of additional background information and labels in multiple languages. And, links between vocabularies connect formerly isolated collections, enabling richer and more contextualized access.
CultuurLINK: interface with strategy editor (top) and result table (bottom).

Project COMSODE has received funding in 2013-2015 from the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union in Grant Agreement number 611358.

Q: oracle replace view during query What happens if a view is replaced while a query that uses that view is running?
I guess that since a view is just a stored query, nothing will happen. When running a query that includes a view, the view is replaced by the actual query. Is that assumption correct?
Thanks

A: Since SQL cursor is open Oracle fetches all data from rollback segment. So even you drop table in another session your first session will continue to fetch rows from dropped table. Same for view.

A: I think currently-running queries will continue to run even if their underlying views are modified.
Do not confuse Data Definition Language (DDL) changes with the Oracle mantra "readers and writers do not block each other".  The technology that prevents that blocking does not prevent DDL from interfering with queries.  There most certainly are cases where a DDL statement can break a currently-running SQL statement.
The examples below demonstrate a TRUNCATE breaking a SELECT, and then demonstrate a similar CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW not breaking a SELECT.
Truncate interfering with currently-running query
--Session #1 - Create table and data.
drop table table1;
create table table1(a number);
insert into table1 select level from dual connect by level <= 100000;
commit;

--Session #2 - Query table.  Use an IDE and only retrieve the first N rows.
select * from table1;

--Session #1 - Truncate table.
truncate table table1;

--Session #2: Retrieve the rest of the rows.
--This may be difficult to reproduce, and may depend on memory
--or other environment settings.

ORA-08103: object no longer exists

View change does not interfere with currently-running query
--Session #1 - Create table and data.
drop table table1;
create table table1(a number);
insert into table1 select level from dual connect by level <= 100000;
commit;
create or replace view view1 as select a from table1;

--Session #2 - Query table.  Use an IDE and only retrieve the first N rows.
select * from view1;

--Session #1 - Create a new version of the view.
create or replace view view1 as select 1 a from table1;

--Session #2: Retrieve the rest of the rows.
All rows are returned with the original values.

Warnings
This is only a simple example, do not take this as proof that a SELECT is always immune to view changes.  I'm not sure if you could ever prove that view changes don't interfere with SELECT.  Your assumption that a view is initially replaced by the query makes sense but I'm not 100% sure it is accurate.

Becky Keck
My first independent firing was simple. I dug clay from the creek bed on my family farm, pinched pots, put them in a cast iron pot in a hole in the ground. Added sawdust, wood, manure, and lit it on fire. That was 1999. I'm still at it.
LaVerne Kemp
Fiber Artist
As an African American artist I draw inspiration from the world around me and weave in pieces of my culture such as the colors, patterns, textures and symbolism. I connect with my African culture through my fiber art and communicate its strength in my finished work.

Jessica Rutherford
Art has offered me so many benefits for my emotional and mental well-being. It is a means of expression and source of joy that has changed the way I look at my day to day life. I want to bring this to others and show them you don't have to be a professional artist to have art impact your life in a big way.
Blaine Siegel
My process of art making begins with a spark. I may witness an event, an image, a random thought may enter my mind or I become drawn to a coarse of scientific study. I develop relationships between media, materials and the initial spark...the concept. I begin to explore and create in the studio. This is how I work with my classroom teacher and my students when engaged in a residency. We begin with a clear influence or direction and together we create and explore until we have a completed artwork.
Kevin Wenner
Art is as varied and individual an expression as the number of fingerprints on the planet. It is a cry of freedom and of possibility. It is personal and ironically general all at once. The Artist is the chemical shatter-point that hopes to recover the part of human nature that is spontaneous, frank and possesses wondrous senses...qualities that the rigours of life are likely to inhibit.
Bernie Wilke
My main priority as an artist has been working with schools and communities on mural projects that bring a lasting, positive impact.
Alison Zapata
Alison Zapata works as a professional artist specializing in paintings, ranging from individual works of art to portraits and murals. She especially loves working with vibrant colors and large spaces to convey the energy and life of her topic through murals.
From the bright lights of Broadway to a dilapidated amusement park in Bangkok; from a Mary Kate and Ashley movie set on a cruise ship to a pediatric AIDS unit in a Bronx hospital; and from The Big Apple Circus tent at Lincoln Center to the People's Gymanasium in Tianjin, China, Jeffrey Gordon's 36 year career as Clown Gordoon has taught him that shared laughter and delight is a celebration of being human.
Rusty Thelin

Rusty is a playwright, director, and producer. As a storyteller, he is attracted to the decidedly weird side of life, seeking to use poetic language and imagery as metaphor for the human experience.
His recent work as a producer of quirky and adventurous indie rock musicals has graced the stages of well-known venues from Seattle to New York to Boston.
He constantly strives to re-imagine the possibilities of live theatre, through unusual and inventive staging, and by thinking outside the box. Way outside.
Sam Turich
The basic rules of theatrical improvisation are also important rules for any type of collaboration, be it in the classroom, the workplace or the family. The fundamental rule of improvisation is: Always Say Yes. When the students are able to internalize this deceptively simple concept, they discover that effective collaboration, listening and teamwork are both easy and fun.
Curtis Reaves
He is a multi-media artist and community educator who utilizes photography, video, technology and printmaking to empower youth in the exploration of creativity, heritage and social change. Each residency is an infusion of community, found natural objects and symbolic images. His mission is to plant creative seeds wherever he goes to empower the next generation of artists.
Jeff Berman
Rhythm as relationship, as a point of connection, and as universal communication.
Geña & Preach

Chamber music is the most intimate form of classical / contemporary music, and is ideal for small performance spaces such as classrooms, small concert halls, chapels, and even private homes.
Ivette Spradlin
Photographer, Video Artist
My photographs and videos capture the spirit's intrinsic need to create a sense of comfort, safety, community, and a place to call home.
Walt Peterson
If product is the goal of industry, I think process is the most important element in Art and Arts Education. To get kids (and teachers, too) writing and dreaming and listening and being frustrated and meeting language-based experience is both exhilarating and humbling. It leads the participants to self-knowledge and knowledge of others in our society. I'd love to see an education milieu where one can spend as much time and money on the arts as, say, football. Now, that's a subversive thought. The Arts can do that to you!
Christine Bethea
Multi-Media Artist
She is fiber artist, quilter, mixed media, installation artist and writer who creates art from vintage fabrics salvaged wood and objects which have no obvious use. In this way, she stays true to her goals of reusing all potential resources in unique and artful ways.
Amber Coppings
I see the world best...intuitively and explicitly... through creative moments with color, texture and textiles. This understanding has manifested itself in my artwork through textural sewing, Japanese shibori fabric creations and surface pattern design.
Amanda Gross
To create is to bring a vision into being. I believe in the positive power of art and art-making to bring people, ideas, and communities together to strengthen individual and collective learning, collaboration, and dreams.
Cole Hoyer-Winfield
As humans, each of our identities develop in a spontaneous fashion as our lives unfold. Each experience and interaction sprouts new strands of reality.

Emily Newman
Interdisciplinary Video Artist
As a visual artist, I am fascinated by the way all of us create representations as thoughts and objects every day. This very process is the subject matter of my work, the aim of which is to demonstrate to the people who participate in my projects, and to those who see its finished state, how meaning is made.
Tom Sarver
Tom Sarver is an interdisciplinary artist and puppeteer interested in creating accessible, interactive arts experiences for children and adults. His puppet shows, created from everyday recycled materials, have explored a broad range of topics including Greek mythology, healthy eating habits, Middle Eastern folktales and Modern art.

Specializing in arts-based civic engagement since 2003, Speranza is highly motivated to make a difference in the world that is more than aesthetic in its impact.
Lindsay Woge
Creative-Reuse Designer
Being creative is a joyful experience that everyone – of every age, of every background, of every ability – can participate in, and its effects can be powerful: therapeutic, spiritual, energizing, reaffirming, unifying, and FUN!
Tina Williams Brewer
In a world that is becoming increasingly smaller, the relationship between art and real life offers a glimpse into our interconnectedness, our humanity. Using the thread of humanity and the goals of dignity and respect, my quilting process celebrates the journey.

I mentioned before that we are hosting Thanksgiving again this year. Our dining room table is a little tight with eight people, but it is cozy and I love eating in the dining room (because we never do so otherwise)! Besides the bouquet, I already had everything on hand, so this table came together quickly!
The placemats are pieces of cut kraft paper. I purchased several rolls of this paper at Dollar Tree last year, and am using it again this year! The silver chargers are also from Dollar Tree, but you can get these almost anywhere for cheap.
In the center of the table, I placed a piece of scrap wood from our recent hardwood install. It was already stained and was the perfect size, I just added some gold craft paint to the sides to glam it up a bit. I like how it adds a little height in the center of the table.
The gold candlesticks are from an antique store, and the striped candles are from Homegoods (from last year). I added some mercury glass candle holders (from Michael's) and a few pears to finish it off. The autumn bouquet is from Trader Joe's.
I used paper napkins, accordion folded them, and tied them up with twine. The place cards were an easy DIY watercolor project.
Super simple and natural, and I love the mix of silver and gold. There is still plenty of time to throw together a festive looking table! Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
It looks so pretty! Happy Thanksgiving!
This is great! What a simple way to make napkins you have on hand into something a little more chic. And the pine cone name tag holders are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
This table is seriously GORGEOUS, Andrea! Thanks so much for linking up to the "Get Your DIY On" link up! I'm featuring you on Sunday! Bring your holiday wreath!
Such a gorgeous table, Andrea!!! I know you guests felt special sitting there!!! Don't you just love those gold stripe tapers!? Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful!

Q: How to modify an UIDatePicker's content? Is there any way I could change an UIDatePicker's content ? Instead of displaying dates or time, I would like it to diplay names. (and each name would have a return value, ex: if the user picks the name 'Alpha' the picker would return 1, 'Bravo' would return 2, 'Charlie' 3 ect)

A: You should use UIPickerView instead.

A: You should view the documentation here. It's kind of self explanatory


Brunch has grown into one of the most popular past times for foodies across the country, bringing people together over food and drink. Last weekend I was invited to a first look and taste of Maggiano's Little Italy's newest addition, brunch. Maggiano's felt it was only right to provide a brunch menu to their guests nationwide. Their new menu with feature classic brunch dishes with a little Italian flair. The team invited me, along with some of my peers to try their new menu items.
Chef Verain after his cooking demonstration. Pictured with freshly made Lemon Riccota Pancakes.
We started the morning with some brunch cocktails, I opting to have their frozen peach Bellini. Once sat down, we enjoyed their amuse bouche munching on their Orange Strussel cupcake, which was then followed by the rest of the menu and a cooking demonstration. Chef Philippe Verain's gave a simple demonstration on how to cook the perfect Lemon Ricotta pancakes, while we mingled and drank the day away.
Crab Cake Benedicts: Jump lump crab cakes on english muffin, topped with poached egg and hollandaise sauce. If I had to pick, I would order this one!
Meatball Benedict: English muffin topped with meatball, poached egg, oven-dried tomato, and hollandaise sauce. It's a decent dish if you love meatballs, but I'm picky when it comes to meatballs so it wasn't my fave.
Creme Brulee French Toast: Cranberry raisin Focaccia, topped with strawberries, with mapple syrup and a side of Neuske bacon. Their use of the cranberry raisin focaccia makes this dish incredible. My most recommended dish on the menu!
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: The fluffy, cream pancakes are topped with whipped cream, maple syrup and blueberries. The pancakes had a cake like creaminess to them, you don't even need syrup!
Vegetable Frittata: Shiitake mushrooms, spinach, Roma tomatoes, smoked mozzarella, with a side of crispy Yukon potatoes. Second favorite, once you bite into all the ingredients in the middle, you'll know what I mean.

Bringing a garden back to life
BRAD HORN/Nevada Appeal Michael Montiel, a 16-year-old sophomore at Carson High School, is restoring the memorial garden at Eagle Valley Middle School for his Eagle Scout project. The garden was established in honor of former teacher Wally Keller, and Montiel plans to add science teacher Eric Anderson, who died in 2004.
For years, it's been overgrown, tall milkweed crowding the sidewalk and keeping sunlight from reaching what grows underneath.
Michael Montiel, 16, a sophomore at Carson High School, remembers walking past the area at Eagle Valley Middle School, which he attended for three years.
"It's pretty peaceful out there," he said. "When I was going to school, I never really noticed it a lot. I was just rushing to class. Now that I'm older, it's pretty."
More than a week ago, Michael and a half-dozen others arrived about 9 a.m. and began pulling weeds. They worked until 2 p.m.
The area, at the back side of the school, was built in memory of science teacher Wally Keller.
"He was here for several years, and then he passed away from cancer," said EVMS Principal Ferd Mariani. "The Boys & Girls Club had a Wally Keller fundraiser."
And that's how the memorial garden came to be. Michael, who is revitalizing the area for his Eagle Scout Project for Troop 341 Carson City, knew of someone else to whom to dedicate the garden - Eric Anderson, an EVMS science teacher, who died in October 2004 also from cancer. Michael had him as a science teacher and did Science Olympiad with him.
"Basically, he taught me not to give up," Michael said. "He was a great inspiration because he knew he was going to die, but he kept going even though he knew he was going to pass away. He still kept teaching."
After about 30 hours of work by Michael and volunteers, the area was clear of weeds. Bark lying on the ground as a covering was also removed.
"It's kind of a quiet part of the school," Mariani said. "It's really pretty. It looks into the Eagle Valley area. You can see the river from there."
The school gave Michael a bronze plaque to put up in memory of Keller. In the meantime, he is searching for money to purchase a plaque for Anderson and then funds to lay both plaques into a large, flat stone, which he also needs to find.
Using heavy machinery, Michael will lift a large concrete table that for for years has been toppled in the garden. A new foundation has already been put in. The table is the next large step in the process, which he hopes to finish in a few weeks.
"I started work on this about two years ago - really planning it about two months ago," he said. "But the idea came to me sometime last year."
Michael still wants to move large planters from a back fence up close to the school near the table and plant roses in them.
"The garden is basically just a place to reflect and relax," he said. "It's also a place where teachers can take their students if they need to study nature or animals or insects. I decided to do this because the entire time I was at Eagle Valley. I didn't like how (the area) looked, and I wanted to make it more presentable."
An Eagle Scout project must be something that benefits the community, but not require continual upkeep. Michael plans to put down weed-suppressants in the area and around the few young trees.
"Hopefully, no more weeds ever come here again," he said. "They were chest high. You couldn't even walk through them."
To help Michael, call him at 230-3908. He is looking for plants, like roses and lilies, and funds to purchase a plaque.

How Much Does IVF Treatment Cost — and Is it Worth It?
Meg Dowell Twitter
Over 1 million Americans per year seek fertility advice or treatment in an attempt to get pregnant. Many millions more experience fertility issues without counseling or treatment. For many, the cost of medical interventions alone is just too much to even consider.
In vitro fertilization, or IVF — one of many fertility treatment possibilities — has been around for decades. It's also now a standard part of other treatments that have allowed otherwise helpless couples to become parents. But it's still a costly procedure, and only beneficial for a select group of women and their partners.
Here's everything you need to know.
IVF isn't for everyone
Couple arguing | AntonioGuillem/iStock/Getty Images
Though IVF is probably the fertility treatment you've heard about the most, it isn't the ideal option for everyone. The best candidates for this type of treatment might include:
Couples who have been unsuccessfully trying to conceive naturally for a year or more
Women with blocked or missing fallopian tubes
Women living with endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, pelvic inflammatory disease, or anyone with abnormal ovarian cycles.
In addition, women with inviable eggs or who have experienced one or more miscarriages should consider other options to improve their chances of becoming pregnant.
It costs more than most fertility treatment options
According to Parents magazine, IVF costs, on average, about $8,000 per cycle. Because fewer than 50% of treatments result in pregnancies (and success rates fall the older you are), it's not uncommon to go through more than one cycle of treatment.
This doesn't include the cost of fertility drugs, which can add up to $6,000 to your treatment cost per cycle depending on the type and accompanying procedures.
Other fertility treatment options

IFV isn't the only choice when looking into treatment options. In fact, up to 90% of most cases can be treated without this type of intervention. And they're not nearly as expensive, with the exception of donor eggs, which can cost up to $30,000 in total.
Fertility drugs induce ovulation or boost egg production by releasing hormones into the body. Women who benefit most from these drugs either don't ovulate regularly or have a partner with poor sperm production.
Intrauterine insemination is most beneficial for women whose partners have a low sperm count or slow-moving sperm. Women whose bodies can't "tolerate" their partners' sperm can also benefit. The procedure involves inserting sperm directly into the uterus, and usually costs less than $1,000.
Donor sperm comes from a man other than the intended father and cost about $400. They're usually used in cases where the male partner has the primary fertility issue or has a genetic disorder he doesn't want to pass on to a child. Single women and lesbian couples can also benefit.
Reproductive surgeries can cost as little as $1,000 and as much as $5,000. They're done to correct anatomical issues in a man or a woman preventing a couple from becoming pregnant. Surgery can also clear scarring and blockages resulting from health conditions such as endometriosis.
Your treatment options depend on your personal circumstances and preferences. But whichever option you might choose, it's important to go into it knowing your chances of becoming pregnant aren't high. Still, they're higher than they would be without treatment. Whether or not it's worth the cost, the stress, and the chance of success, in the end, is up to you.


This container type café is like your favourite imaginary neighbour's garden with a pond and gravel- greens. Perfect for an outdoorsy day is their rooftop seating area with the wooden plank sofas and roller tables. I'm assuming that it is the comfortable and unique structure that brings people back here.
Despite the turnout of people for their lunch time, the interior was home like and calm with friendly staff who were very concerned about the quality of the food they served. Malisha was very much interactive with her guests and treated them like they were invited for lunch.
We tried their simple mixed fruit juice (Rs.550)that was presented in a mason jar (my favourite) and a sealed straw- hygiene on point.
The first impression of this drink was that it tasted just like mama made it. Unlike a lot of fruit juices, this one didn't have too thick or too thin of a consistency and had the perfect level of sugar for someone like me. If you are a sugar freak, then I suppose you could ask for more sugar or take the plunge and order one of their Nutella milkshakes. Yum!
This was a personal favourite of my friend. I on the other hand would definitely indulge in one of this ONLY if I was having a bad day with a law exam. Not much of a sugar fan, but for a Nutella shake it was quite delicious. Repeating myself again, this one had a perfect level of sugar too. The best part of it was that it didn't have anything crazy going on with chocolate sauce and all the candy from the Willy Wonka factory. If this particular Nutella shake was a person, it'd be down to earth and awesome.
As for the main meals, we decided to have a Peri peri chicken salad (Rs.750)and a Prawn & celery burger– a new addition to the menu!
highlight of this meal, for me, was the sun dried tomatoes and peri -peri sauce that was served on the side. The tomatoes added the perfect flavour to the already delectable chicken and the avocado balanced out any strong flavours.
Be an avocado, balance out life.
I already informed the café that I was coming back for it soon. This is a must try!
Secondly, we tried the new prawn & celery burger that had a pretty unique garnish with celery, red bell peppers and cucumbers which were all thinly sliced and dressed along with a layer of greens and a slice of cheese.
Being the first time I ever tried seafood based burger, the first impression was quite a good one. The prawn patty is something any seafood lover would opt for. For a burger, the patty wasn't soaking or drenching in oil unlike a lot of other burgers I've had and had a soft and chewy feel to it.
The best part about the burger was its proportionate creation. The patty, the garnish and the burger buns were all perfect and filling in it's size.
However, I am unsure as to whether I would order this again. Being less of a seafood person, I would only "try" anything from under the seas rather than re ordering it.
The next time I visit Aura, I would love to try their Peri peri/ Tandoori chicken burger ,or a standard Beef burger (both Rs.900).
They served the burger on a wooden cutting board along with home fried oregano fries (another favourite)and a side of ketchup.
Perfect for a hot sunny day! As compared to the other desserts they have, this is a light and easy one to have after a heavy meal.
The raspberry was my choice. The flavour of the sorbet was a bit too sweet for my taste.
On the other end of the table was the passion fruit sorbet that had a very bright yellow colour and tangy- lemony flavour.
On trying both separately, I decided that the perfect flavour for me would be a mix of the both. They seemed to compliment each other pretty well. A sweet & sour passion- raspberry sorbet. I loved it, I wanted more!
Malisha did like the idea of a mix, but she was told that unlike ice-cream, sorbets tend to mix into each other and create a whole different colour.
Finally, we had a cup of coffee to tone down everything we had.
A mocha latte and a long black for my dear friend. There is not much to say about the usual coffee cups.
Ps. they have a new menu coming out soon, so go try all their older dishes so you don't miss out on all the goodness. They are also planning on introducing a bunch of healthy additions to their menu for those who like to keep a watch on their calories and sugar.

Neymar even got an overall rating of 93! FIFA 17 TOTW 9 will be available from 6pm, November 16th until 5.45pm UK time, November 23rd, 2016. Here is the full squad.
ST: Andrea Belotti – Torinomacht.
There are a lot of top midfielders, but many will cost you a lot. Here we will introduce some best midfield with low budget. These affordable players can help you challenge your FIFA 17's Career Mode.
At the age of 34, former Ballon d'Or winner Kaka could have one more move left in him, and you'd do well to find a better big name player to bring in on Career Mode. The former AC Milan and Real Madrid man has 86 volleys, 86 vision and 85 composure on FIFA 17 along with the 'finesse shot'trait. The Orlando City attacking midfielder or centre forward can be brought in for less than £5 million, with £22,000 wages.
It's strange to see a regular starter for Manchester City not be offered a new deal, so you can imagine a big name coming into the City side next season. Fernandinho has been a great servant at The Etihad, and has been among their top performers this season. The Brazilian offers 86 aggression, 86 interceptions and 83 shot power on FIFA 17, at a price of just £8 million. His wages of £43,000 are a fair price for the 31-year-old's ability.
Despite some impressive form, it is clear Michael Carrick is no in Jose Mourinho's plans, and it looks more than likely that the Manchester United defensive or central midfielder will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season. You could choose to snap the 34-year-old up for as little as £2.5 million and £36,000 wages, an absolute bargain, for which you would receive 86 short passing, 85 vision and 85 composure.
Poor old Yann M'Vila. The 26-year-old Frenchman tried to force through a move to Sunderland on transfer deadline day in the summer, but ultimately he had to stay at Russian side Rubin Kazan. The defensive or central midfielder is still expected to move to The Black Cats in January, but you can snap him up for just over £5 million on career mode. His £58,000 wages may turn you off however, but with still time to grow and 83 aggression, 82 short passing and 81 interceptions, there are few better holding midfield options.
One of the biggest coups on FIFA 17 has to be Napoli man Marko Rog. The 20-year-old attacking or central midfielder will only set you back around £6 million, with the potential to become one of the world's best. The Croatian international moved to Napoli in the summer, but is yet to make an appearance for the club, and has only signed a one-year contract. This means you will have to wait until January to sign him, but at that price, he will be worth the wait. The former Dinamo Zagreb man has 82 short passing, 80 dribbling and 78 ball control, which comes at a cost of £25,000 per week wages.
Several new or updated player faces rendered for accurate character likeness.
Spanish crowds now use the authentic audio when reacting to a goal.
Black custom kits no longer clash with referee kits.
Localized audio and character speech for the following: German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Mexican Spanish.

Fitbit Working On BeatsX-Like Bluetooth Earphones as 'Proper' Smartwatch Faces Production Mishaps
Tuesday April 11, 2017 9:57 AM PDT by Mitchel Broussard
Fitbit is gearing up to launch a "proper" smartwatch as a competitor to the Apple Watch, which will include mobile payments features, a full app store, and more, in addition to Fitbit's usual health and fitness features. While that product is predicted to launch sometime this fall -- likely going head-to-head with Apple Watch Series 3 -- a new report from Yahoo Finance today has depicted a troubled road to launch for Fitbit's smartwatch, as well as revealing the company's potential emergence in the Bluetooth earphone market.
Yahoo Finance's report states that Fitbit intends to launch its own pair of fitness-focused Bluetooth earphones, which is believed to help the company expand beyond the wrist and diversify its product lineup. Fitbit's device is said to be "similar in design" to the BeatsX Earphones that Apple launched earlier this year. The Fitbit earphones "will hang around your neck" and launch alongside the new smartwatch in two colors called "Nightfall Blue" and "Lunar Gray."
Apple's BeatsX Earphones
According to sources speaking with Yahoo Finance, Fitbit's smartwatch was initially launching this spring, but GPS problems due to antenna positioning in a few prototypes delayed production to the fall. Additionally, waterproofing became an issue in production, and today's report even noted that "it's still unclear as of the publication of this article whether the device will launch with the waterproof feature."
If it isn't waterproof, critics may perceive it to be an inferior product to Apple's — especially given that the device will launch roughly a year after the Apple Watch Series 2.
"Regardless of whether Fitbit manages to make it waterproof, I think they have to release the watch later this year," one of our sources familiar with the matter told Yahoo Finance. "It's literally sink or swim time for them."
Fitbit's smartwatch is said to include a color display with peak brightness of 1,000 nits, which would make it comparable to Apple Watch Series 2. Similar features that will make it a competitor to Apple and other Android Wear watches are heart-rate monitoring, NFC payments, and on-board music storage (using Pandora on Fitbit). Fitbit could see a slight edge over Apple in the battery life department, with a reported four full days of charge capable on the smartwatch.
Fitbit's device is predicted to cost around $300 and will be housed in an aluminum unibody design that allows users to swap out bands of different styles and colors. Those who have seen a glimpse of the Fitbit smartwatch prototype compare it to the company's current product, the Fitbit Blaze.
The Fitbit Blaze
Yahoo Finance viewed the presentation deck Fitbit showed retail partners like Best Buy (BBY) and Target (TGT) behind closed doors. That deck revealed a general design aesthetic that resembles a product in the company's current product line: the Blaze.
"It was very retro-looking with the lines and stuff — definitely not sexy," one source told Yahoo Finance. Several employees who saw the design complained about it, the source said.
To help enter the crowded smartwatch field, Fitbit recently acquired luxury smartwatch maker Vector Watch, as well as popular wearable company Pebble. Fitbit noted that the company is aware there is "a lot of interest in our entry into the smartwatch category," but gave no comments regarding today's news.
Fitbit has had a rough couple of months, ranging from being accused of stealing trade secrets, to facing one of its "largest declines ever" in the fourth quarter of 2016, which resulted in layoffs of about 6 percent of its staff. Although the company remained above Apple Watch in sheer number of units shipped, it has slowly begun losing market share to rivals Apple and Xiaomi.
Tag: Fitbit
Many of the Fitbit wearers I know like Fitbit over the Apple Watch for its simplicity and small size. If they wanted an Apple Watch they would have bought one.
I was one of those people that bought a Fitbit for the reasons you just mentioned. Smaller, simpler, cheaper.
However, it was one of the most regrettable purchases I've made in a while. Fitbit charge HR literally fell apart in <3 months, they sent another for free but it started to peel apart as well. To truly see your fitness data was a PAIN to open the app and I just stopped caring making it pointless. It cost me $125 and two devices lasted me <6 months. I bought a series 0 stainless Apple Watch for $249 new from Best Buy(after series 2 was released). Actually EASIER and I still fill my rings, use the features, and not one scratch, dent, peel, or breakage. No brainer to me.
But, competition is good. I just don't buy the "folks who buy Fitbit wouldn't buy applewatch" logic. The only thing stopping people is OS and price. IMHO

As a shareholder in Fitbit, I'm incredibly disappointed. They've really messed it all up.
It's one thing to face fierce competition but their production problems are the biggest problem.
Jakexb
So many people talked smack about the Apple Watch's design upon its release, but in 2 years, nobody else has been able to top it in terms of real-life aesthetics. There have been many that managed to take lovely product photos, but then it turns out in person the device is comically large or a chunk of the screen doesn't light up or everything is pixellated and crappy.

Chalgenius News | Rain Reveals Floating Corpses In Ganga, Dislodges Bodies Buried In Banks
Leave a Comment / Entertainment, Mix Bag / By Our Team
Families gave up the bodies of their loved ones to the river or buried them in shallow graves on its banks, unable to afford the cost of funeral pyres at the height of the outbreak in April and May.
Partly hidden between long reeds of grass, bodies shrouded in cloth float silently down the holy Ganges river, a reminder of how ferocious coronavirus wave overwhelmed hospitals and crematoriums.
But the start of seasonal monsoon flooding has caused strong currents to surge through the 2,500-kilometre (1,550-mile) long waterway, dislodging some of the bodies buried on its banks.
Officials in Allahabad — where millions visit to perform funeral rites — say almost 150 bodies that floated up in the past three weeks have been cremated.
Funeral pyres line riverside embankments beside piles of wood waiting for new bodies to be retrieved.
When AFP visited the surrounding areas, there were dozens of partially submerged corpses in the river.
Officials estimate that up to 600 bodies were buried along the Ganges in the city during the virus surge.
But locals believe that is a fraction of the real number and fear that more could be dislodged from the sandy banks by rapid waters in the coming weeks.
Sonu Chandel, a boatman who works with a riverside crematorium, was shaken by the sight of families burying their dead two months ago.
He said a sense of uneasiness returned to him as the waters rose to cover the banks.
"It was really sad to see poor people burying their loved ones in an undignified manner, but the rising water level has made it worse," Chandel told AFP.
"There is always the fear of (a body) hitting the oar or (my boat) running over a dead body as the water level goes up."
'The flow is very fast'
Other major religious centres, such as the religious hub of Varanasi further downstream, have experienced similar problems.
Locals fear the corpses, if not removed, risk further contaminating what is already one of the world's most polluted waterways.
"This… could cause dangerous diseases," Dipin Kumar, who lives near the Ganges in Allahabad, told AFP.
"The government must think this over and only they can make a plan."
Pilgrims flock to the Ganges to ritualistically bathe, and even before the pandemic, millions cremated their dead along its banks before scattering the ashes in the river.
Some who could not afford wood or other materials for funeral rites would submerge the bodies of their loved ones instead, while others conducted water burials as part of their religious traditions.
The number of corpses in and around the Ganges sharply increased during the record-breaking coronavirus surge.
Locals said funerals — which can cost more than 7,000 rupees ($100) — were adding to the hardships of those already struggling to make ends meet in the pandemic-stricken economy.
Police and state disaster teams now patrol the river looking for bodies.
Officials have stationed two boats along the banks to retrieve the corpses — sometimes with help from local fishermen — but have had little success in recent days.
"The flow is very fast and it is a challenge to fish out bodies now," a police officer told AFP.

Pinot Noir from Edna Valley, San Luis Obispo County, California.
SRP of $19 and available for $16 at Club W. Sample submitted for review. 913 cases made.
"The fruit for this Pinot Noir grew among the Paragon Vineyards in Edna Valley, one of the first in the entire Central Coast to become certified in sustainable farming. The grapes were hand harvested in 24 ton loads and then fermented in stainless steel tanks after having a 2 day cold soak. For the final step in creating this elegant Pinot, the juice was aged in 100% neutral French oak barrels before bottling.
Characteristic of its warm weather climate, the Porter & Plot Pinot Noir has a sunbaked raisin fruit flavor that's met by a blast of raspberry and a touch of black pepper. The finish is luxuriously long with an upfront kick of spice that flourishes into dense, dried fruit. This medium-bodied wine delivers a full mouthfeel that begs for a hearty, meaty dish to pair.
Today's wine comes from the Edna Valley in San Luis Obispo County in California. It's probably an area you haven't heard much about but winemaking here dates back to the early 1800s. Close to the California High Desert, the warm temperatures are regulated by the cooling ocean winds and this results in one of the longest growing seasons in all of California — perfect for ripening Pinot Noir grapes.
The 2012 Porter and Plot Pinot Noir begins with a very pleasant, jammy aroma of extremely ripe red fruit, prunes, oak and a hint of vanilla and coffee. Tasting reveals lots of jammy black cherry, strawberry and raisin flavors along with a little black pepper and a good dose of spicy oak. It ends with a bit of spicy peppery fruit and a touch of coffee that lingers nicely. Smooth and fun to drink, this is a great pick for fans of jammy wines.
