The film's studio shared a brief teaser
Here are the first details on the movie
Dirty Dancing is still one of the most beloved movies of all time. And fans are curious about the new sequel being made with Jennifer Grey.
The sequel was announced in 2020, but few details have emerged since then. After Jennifer Grey recently said they're still writing the script, the film's studio just provided first details on the new Dirty Dancing.
Dirty Dancing sequel: "Baby" returns to Kellerman's
The Dirty Dancing sequel was just announced at Cinemacon. Per EW, its studio Lionsgate shared the following teaser: "Jennifer Grey returns to Kellerman's in the next chapter."
So we now know: the sequel will see "Baby" back at Kellerman's resort — where her story with "Johnny" took place in the original. That'll be nostalgic! We'll have to see where they go from there.
And "Baby" may be back, but the new film will have to go ahead without "Johnny." Star Patrick Swayze died over a decade ago from cancer at just 57.
Why Jennifer Grey wants to do the new Dirty Dancing
Some fans are unhappy they're doing the film without Patrick Swayze. But Jennifer Grey recently explained why she's so determined to revisit their 1987 film.
Grey, now 62, told People magazine that Dirty Dancing has a pivotal message about overcoming "your limiting belief systems," and she hopes to revisit that "formula" for a new generation of viewers.

She explained in full: "I would love to give fans or a young, new audience an experience that would never replicate [the original], but has the same kind of underpinnings. Today people think that their identity is limited, the world has told them what it is.
"But there are certain people who can see other parts of you. Dirty Dancing was a fairy tale, a successful movie and formula, using dance as a metaphor for embodying your energy and getting out of your head, and your limiting belief systems."

The mutual fund investors in the country are facing a scare as one of the Kotak Asset Management's fixed maturity plan (FMP), that matured on the April 8, is seen as deferring the payment to investors.
The delay in the repayment to the investors came on the back of the asset manager not able to collect payments from three stressed firms.
In a recent note to investors of Kotak FMP Series 183, the company said that almost 27% of the scheme corpus of Rs 457 crore is invested in three troubled entities facing severe liquidity crisis: IL&FS Transportation Networks Limited (ITNL), and two Essel Group companies (Edisons Utility Works and Konti Infrapower & Multiventures).
FMPs are close-ended funds that invest in debt instruments with maturity matching the tenure of the scheme.
The FMPs of mutual fund industry have an estimated exposure of over Rs 7,500 crore to Essel Group debt papers. Of this, 55 close-ended FMPs have over ₹1,700 crore maturing over the next three months.
Investors are worried that two FMPs of Uday Kotak-owned mutual fund maturing later this month could face the same fate. The two FMP series – 187 and 127 – that are maturing this month has cumulative Assets under Management (AUM) of Rs 951 crore and exposure of Rs 186 crore to the Subhash Chandra owned Zee Group.
Other than this, six FMPs of Kotak Mutual Fund with AUM of Rs 2,094 crore maturing in the next one month have invested Rs 358 crore in the debt papers issued by the Zee Group.
On the other hand, the country's largest fund house HDFC Asset Management Company has extended an FMP that was supposed to mature on April 15 to April 29, 2020, as the liquidity crunch continues to cripple the market.

How Mario Dedivanovic Went From Sephora Employee to Kim Kardashian's World-Famous Makeup Artist
The story of how @makeupbymario came to be one of the most recognized beauty pros in the world.
Stephanie Saltzman
In our long-running series, "How I'm Making It," we talk to people making a living in the fashion and beauty industries about how they broke in and found success.
It's the ultimate 2018 American Dream success story: A New York City kid, raised by Albanian immigrant parents in the Bronx, becomes an entry-level Sephora employee and then works his way up, eventually turning pro, linking up with Kim Kardashian and becoming one of the most sought-after, world-famous makeup artists of a generation. That's pretty much exactly how it went down for Mario Dedivanovic, aka @makeupbymario, the social media handle by which he's immediately recognizable to his 4.2 million followers around the globe.
In addition to brand partnerships with the likes of CoverGirl, Marc Jacobs Beauty and Laura Mercier, he hosts Master Classes that sell out in minutes and draw thousands of attendees and counts a slew of celebrities — Gabrielle Union, Naomie Harris, Kate Bosworth and Bebe Rexha, in addition to the ever-loyal Kardashain — amongst his clients. As if that wasn't occupying enough of his time, Dedivanovic is also about to become a television personality via Lifetime's Kardashian-produced "Glam Masters," which premieres on Wednesday. The veteran makeup artist is at the top of his game, and to reflect on his career is to reveal where the perfect combination of timing, talent, loyalty and ballsiness can lead.
"I was pretty ballsy. I took a lot of risks from an early age," he tells me over the phone. He'd give advice to Sephora shoppers even before he was technically authorized to do so; he pursued a career his parents weren't exactly thrilled about; and in 2008, he took a chance by aligning himself with a certain up-and-coming reality star before anyone could have predicted her subsequent meteoric rise. "She's had such a massive influence globally in the world of beauty and she's had such a massive influence on my career as well," says Dedivanovic of Kardashian now.
We caught up with the Insta-famous makeup artist for a look back at his impressive career trajectory this far — and to get a glimpse at what's coming up next. Read on for the highlights.

Tell me about your background. Did you know from a young age that you wanted to work in beauty?
Growing up, I never knew anything about makeup or even really thought about it. My sister wore makeup and there was always makeup in the house because my mother was a cleaning woman for the L'Oréal building in Manhattan. She'd come home [with makeup they'd give her].
You never had any kind of inkling that you'd want to pursue a career in beauty?
From the time I was a very young child, I was inspired by beauty — models, interior design, beautiful homes. I didn't have much growing up, and we lived in a small basement apartment, so I wasn't surrounded by that much beauty. I always looked outside to see beautiful things. I'd ask my dad to drive me to Westchester or wherever they had beautiful houses because I wanted to see the lawns and the homes. My mother would clean these beautiful apartments in Manhattan and I'd beg for her to take me with her, because I loved to go and see the homes, the design, the furniture, the artwork. I didn't know at that time what that feeling was, but it was me being inspired. The feeling of being inspired was so powerful to me, and then when I discovered makeup later on that feeling came back, like I had found my calling.
How did you first come to that realization that beauty was your calling?
When I was 17, I graduated high school and went to look for a job in Manhattan with my mother and I walked into a Sephora, not knowing what it was at the time. It was the first Sephora in the United States; this was in 2000. I immediately felt overwhelmed by the feeling that I wanted to work there. It just looked so cool to me: Everyone had black suits and black gloves on; it smelled really good.
I eventually wound up getting hired as a 'fragrance consultant.' They put me by the door to say, 'Welcome to Sephora!' to every single person. Because I was near the door, there was like a lipstick gondola nearby, and women would ask questions. I just started giving them advice... even though I wasn't supposed to [laughs]. I quickly became obsessed with makeup and began to research and study it after work.

When you first started experimenting with makeup did it come to you naturally, or was there a learning curve?
I had always liked to draw and paint — nothing serious — but I was always creative. In the beginning, it really came naturally to me. The first makeover I did when I was at Sephora took me three hours, but it came out really beautiful. I'm good at manipulating materials and things, so I think that just translated to the face.
Once you decided that you wanted to build this into a long-term career, what were your next steps?
I started doing research. I don't think I even had a computer at that time; I went to the library and started researching makeup artists and the entire industry. I was so fascinated. I'd get all of the magazines and immerse myself in everything that I could — makeup artistry, hairstyling, photography — and then I started meeting photographers and building my book little by little.
I started booking gigs outside of Sephora even before they had hired me as a makeup artist; I was still working there as a fragrance consultant. I remember when I booked my first gig: It was for two singers who were doing a cabaret show. I think I charged them $25. I literally didn't have a makeup kit — I had a Nike shoebox with some makeup in it and brushes that my manager at work had given me. We could all choose what kind of gratis we wanted [at Sephora]; I never took the fragrance, I always took any makeup I could get. That's how I started building my kit.
I eventually left Sephora and went to work with Lorac Cosmetics, becoming their regional makeup artist, traveling around New York and New Jersey. At the same time, I was building my portfolio and I began assisting. I assisted makeup artists for several years — never full-time; it was always a few days a week here and there because I was also making money doing my own thing on the side.
How did you get into celebrity and editorial work?
I met a celebrity photographer, Fadil Berisha, who is Albanian like myself. A model I'd worked with called him and said, 'I met this Albanian kid, you should meet with him, he's talented.' This was when I was 18 or 19, and I met with him and he gave me a chance. He had me come in one weekend to shoot with him, and I got really good images for my portfolio. I began assisting some of his makeup artists and then I went on to assist some of the greats in the industry.
But before that, I had assisted some makeup artists for smaller magazine shoots, commercial jobs and catalogs. Then I began assisting bigger makeup artists and was doing fashion magazine covers, cosmetic and fashion campaigns for brands like CoverGirl, Max Factor and Dolce & Gabbana. It was very different types of artists. Some were very glam artists who did celebrities, and then I assisted some high fashion artists, so I got a taste of all of it at a really young age.
Can you share any of the names of the people you worked with most back then?
I usually don't, but Billy B. was one of the celebrity makeup artists that I assisted back in the day, and Kabuki. I worked with him for over a year. That's where I really worked on all of these massive campaigns and shoots. We were on set with Steven Klein all the time.
At what point did you feel like you'd really established your career?
It's tough to say. I had an agent from a pretty young age, about 20 or 21, but even with that, I still struggled. I always kept some kind of freelance position in retail. When I finally left retail it was because I'd gotten a job at Fox News, doing the anchors' makeup. I did that one or two days a week, just to have a little bit of steady income. This was 2006 or 2007.
That job must have been such good training for perfecting the skill of on-camera makeup.
Oh, definitely, and the pressure — they would come in late and have to go on live. That's where I really learned how to work together with a hairstylist and get it done. I'd be doing liquid liner while they'd be blowing their hair out, so I really learned a lot from that experience.
Was there ever a specific moment when you remember feeling like you'd gotten your big break?
I got my first magazine cover for a magazine called Philadelphia Style. They sent a car for me and I went to Pennsylvania and I thought it was such a big deal. I was on set and I called my manager at Lorac to quit over the phone. In my mind, I was like OK, this is it, I'm doing a magazine cover! [Laughs] Then reality set in once it was done.
I was brave in the sense that I never let myself become really comfortable. I remember when I got my first ad campaign, and I think it paid $5,000 a day. To a young, 20-something, that's huge — $15,000 in three days. I just remember calling my mom and telling her what the rate was for the job. Nothing impressed her because she didn't want me doing this kind of work. Throughout the early years, everything I did was to try to make my parents proud. Doing that campaign was one of those moments where I was like, OK, I can do this.
Through word of mouth, I started working regularly with celebrities like Natasha Bedingfield and some others. And then I met Kim. It was 2008.
Tell me more about meeting Kim — did you know it would be a turning point for your career?
Sebastian Smith, a photographer I worked with often, called me one night and said 'Hey, I'm shooting this girl tomorrow for a magazine cover, her name is Kim Kardashian.' I didn't really know who she was. Season one of her show had just aired. I almost said no because I had to work at Fox News that day, but he convinced me. She just loved the makeup I did for that shoot so much. She kept asking what I was using throughout the entire process, and she was taking selfies nonstop. This was right around the time when her fame started to pick up nationally in the U.S.
After the shoot, she asked me if I would take her makeup shopping to buy everything I'd used so she could take it to LA for her makeup artist to use. I took her makeup shopping, we went to Henri Bendel and bought a few things that I'd used on her on the shoot that day. That was it.
How did your professional relationship with her evolve after that?
She started requesting me for whatever she had, and she started getting more and more famous. Kim was so busy. A typical celebrity will release a film or an album, so they work a lot for a few months doing promo. But with Kim, it was literally 365 days a year. There was something happening every single day, whether it was a shoot or red carpet or her show.
She also had a blog. This was a time when celebrities didn't really credit their hair and makeup [teams]. There was no social media, so where were they going to credit them? But Kim had a blog and had me answer questions for her fans. Then one day she asked me to shoot a makeup tutorial for her blog. I almost didn't do that, either, because I was really sick. I was going to cancel, but my friend who was shooting [the video] was like, 'get up!' We created a tutorial of her Vegas Magazine cover shoot and that went on her blog and onto YouTube. That video and the reposts of it have since been seen hundreds of millions of times around the world.
I had all of these Facebook and MySpace messages from people all over the world, asking makeup questions. I'm talking about hundreds of messages. So it all started like that. Kim was incredibly loyal, and I was loyal to her and loved working with her. Her face was just kind of made for me, and when I started working with her I was able to establish my style of makeup. It just so happened that that style that worked really well on her and that was the style that she loved for herself.
How would you describe your aesthetic and approach to makeup?
That changes for me. My style back in the day was definitely different than it is now. I had a super glam aesthetic, where it was heavier with super light undereyes and really long lashes. It was extremely polished and glam. Now I still love a polished and glam aesthetic, but there has to be an element of softness to it and it has to be blown-out. I don't like very harsh makeup. It's hard for me to answer that question because it changes. I like all different types of makeup: soft makeup, dramatic makeup, I really do love all of it and I enjoy doing all of it.
How has social media has impacted your career, especially working with someone like Kim who is such a master and pioneer of using it?
Social media to me in the beginning was kind of a joke. I got onto Twitter because one of the anchors on Fox News put me on it. But I was always on Facebook and MySpace. And then when Instagram happened, and I was pretty late to join, I wasn't serious about it — I didn't post every single day, it wasn't a big deal to me. It wasn't until I reached about a million followers that I started to really see a change in everything, career-wise. Celebrities and clients really started looking at Instagram. Our portfolios as artists started to become obsolete. Celebrities and makeup brands would find me on Instagram.
When I hit a million followers and realized that it was growing really fast, I got serious about it. I set aside time every day to plan out posts and review my numbers. It became really a work thing, but something that I do genuinely enjoy as well. It's been such an amazing tool for me in my career. It's also a controversial one, I think, amongst my peers. Some people who have been doing makeup for 15-plus years like myself think it's ruined the business. But I saw it as something that really could work to my advantage.
I'm sure you have so many brands approaching you and trying to work with you. How do you decide which ones to partner with?
I've got to give props to my management team, who really help me with it. I turn down way more than I take on. We get approached every day by several brands [who want to] work with me in some capacity. I've never done a coupon code, I refuse to do any of that kind of stuff. How it works is: An opportunity will come in from a brand; it has to be a brand that I like and respect. I have to bring [the product] home, I have to use it, my assistant has to use it and sometimes my sister tests it. I get the different opinions and if it's something I believe in, I'll agree to do it. In 2017, I did 18 brand contracts.
You also really pioneered the concept of the Master Class — how did that first come about?
It was around eight or nine years ago, and people would message me on Facebook and Twitter with so many questions. I started thinking it's crazy that unless you're in LA, New York, Paris or London you're not going to have the opportunity or access to learning the tricks of the trade. So that's when I came up with the idea of doing a class for artists from all over the world.
The first class was 20 students. These were aspiring makeup artists, and they were seeing [techniques like] contouring for the first time in person. To an aspiring makeup artist at the time, it was mind-blowing. The classes started getting larger and larger; after [I hit] one million followers on Instagram, the classes really took off. It went from 20 students in that first class to upwards of 1,200.
Tell me about "Glam Masters." How did you decide to get involved and what was it like to shoot?
Kim told me that she was executive producing a show about makeup and that she wanted me to be on it — I don't even think it had a name at the time. I was so scared. I never had an interest in being a celebrity or a reality TV star. I have all the respect for them, but it's not for me. But when we started, I saw quickly what it was all about. It was an amazing, amazing experience and I wouldn't change it for anything. Kim knew I was kind of scared, and she told me, "Mario, just be yourself, say what you want to say when you're judging." And that's what I did.
I had an amazing chemistry with my fellow judges and with the host. We basically met for the first time on the first day of shooting, with mics on, under the lights. We've become really great friends. We laughed and cried together. It was quite an emotional experience because you're dealing with artists who have dreams, just the way you did when you were younger. Everything resonated with me. I could see how badly these artists wanted it, and you're breaking some of their hearts and making some of their dreams come true, so there's a lot of emotion that goes into it.
I also wanted to ask you about the collaboration you're working on with Kim for KKW Beauty. What are you able to tell me?
I can't tell you that much. But my 10-year anniversary with Kim is approaching in a couple of months, and so even before her line started, she told me that she wanted her first collaboration to be with me for her line, so we began working on it months ago. We tried to have it be something that's going to sum up our past decade of glam. She's had such a massive influence globally in the world of beauty, and she's had such a massive influence on my career as well. I just wanted the collaboration to reflect our 10 years of working together. We wanted to give the fans and followers something so that they'd be able to re-create any of the looks that we've done over the past decade.
What advice do you have for aspiring makeup artists who are just starting out?
I always say at the Master Classes I think the number one thing is to try and assist. You really learn so much about doing amazing makeup, and also set etiquette and professionalism and all of the things that go along with makeup artistry.
Secondly, I think for me it's about working hard, not saying no and not giving up on opportunities that come your way. You have to sacrifice — I sacrificed so much in my career in my early days. While my friends were going out clubbing all night, I was waking up at 4:00 a.m. for a press junket. I think all of that stuff really pays off.
Then of course, my mother — although she doesn't know much about this career — her advice was always, 'Whatever you do, just be a good person.' So that's always in the back of my mind. Be a good person and good things will follow.

Commentator Michael Anti says his Facebook account has been suspended for his use of a pseudonym while Mark Zuckerberg's puppy is allowed a page.
"It's insulting. They think my academic and journalistic work is less real than Zuckerberg's dog?" he asked. "I have lost more than a thousand contacts overseas. It is part of my life."
"It's not a 'fake' name, but a professional name in the English-speaking world. If the real name policy really applies in China, you will destroy the accounts of at least half the people. It's ridiculous," he said.
Anti said he sent the company a certificate from Harvard University - where he completed a fellowship - as evidence that he was widely known by that name. Facebook told him that he needed to use the name on his government identity card.
Zuckerberg recently set up a page for his dog Beast, including photographs and details such as his personal interests ("cuddling, loving, eating"). But because it is a kind of fan page - usually used by celebrities and businesses - rather than a personal profile, the real name rules do not apply.

In an interview with the official Formula 1 website, Stroll outlined that: "Short term, we want to stay fighting where we are.
"Medium term, we want to try and fight for third, instead of fourth.
On acquiring the operation, Stroll said: "I never planned to buy an F1 team. The reason it interested myself and my consortium of investors was because this is a phenomenally special team.
"To be fourth in 2016 and 2017 – and last year I think they would have also been fourth without the interruption of the shareholding – in this unbelievably competitive environment speaks volumes about the staff working in this very special place.
"These guys have been spending less and performing better.
Racing Point will launch its 2019 programme in Toronto on February 13.
It will field Lance Stroll, son of Lawrence, alongside team stalwart Sergio Perez.

A cold beer, your family or friends, which you didn't see for tooooo long and the sunset behind the river or the mountains.
Sorry, but sometimes prioritiy is somewhere else than online.
Long story short. You still have to wait for the pictures of our great trekking tour and get the latest news first.
But don't worry, the news are really tasty!
We are on the road with Ann-Katrin's Mum and Dad. Right now we are together in Nepal and they love to try all the lokal food.
were really the best. So we decided to have them for dinner as well.
Yammy... we are looking forward to it, but it's getting better! The chef invited us to join him in the kitchen! A fantastic chance to learn how to make Pakodas and Momo's!!!
BUT: We have the recepies for you! So don't wait. Start cooking!
Cut pea pods, cabbage, carrots, paprika and cauliflower into short stripes. Spice it with ginger, garlic, masala, coriander, chili and cumin, add a little water and each two or three tablespoons of flour, chickpeas flour and cornstarch till you have a homogeneously paste. At the end add peanuts and form balls, the size of wallnuts.
While forming the pakodas heat soyaoil in a deep pan and then fry them.
Take them out, let the oil drop down and enjoy them!
For the dough: Mix water and flour. The consistence shoud be like yeast dough.
For the filling: Cut cabbage, onions, carrots and pea pods in very small pieces. Spice with ginger, garlic, masala, curry, coriander, cumin, salt, pepper and special Momo massala. Add some oliveoil and butter and mix everything.
After that form the Momo's. Check out the video to see how.
In between heat a big pot with pure water. The lokals use special Momo pots, but you can use every possibility to steam them.
Steam the Momo's for approximately 10 minutes, serve and enjoy them!


When we compare our unfiltered lives to a world cropped and edited where everything is perfect, we're left with thoughts of misery and frustration. The struggle to know who we are in the world without compromising who we are in Christ is a battle as old as mankind - but so is God's answer for finding peace. In this series, we'll discover how finding our identity in Christ can save us from the greatest obstacle standing in our way - us.
In order to find our own true selves, we need to let go of who we pretend to be and take hold of God.
Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of beans. We also compromise and sell our birthrights for bowls, but Jesus died on the cross to transfer His birthright to us.
When we're in places of transition and trouble, God shows up to reveal that He has been with us all along.
In this message, we hear the story of Jacob's marriage to two sisters. Their story personifies our own rejection and frustration, and illustrates God's purposes through it all.
You can live in regret and call it like it is, but wouldn't it be better if you called it what you want. Don't let your situations dictate your destiny; if you call it what it is it will always be what it is, but if you call it what God calls it, it will become something brand new.

TALENTRECAP.COM Singing The Four
Zhavia's NYC Tour Concert CANCELLED! Find Out Why:

Who is the Avocado? 'The Masked Singer' Prediction & Clues!
Zhavia from The Four recently cancelled the New York City stop of her tour! She was set to perform at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn on Thursday, April 4th. And the reason why is less than clear.
Here is her announcement from Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BvnYfFDlzI7/
Zhavia kicked off her "100 Ways" tour last month, with a sold out show at The Troubadour in LA. The show also celebrated her 18th birthday! Fans across the country were excited to finally see the up-and-coming star live.
So this cancellation was obviously a bummer for her fans on the East Coast. Zhavia says she cancelled the concert this Thursday due to a "REALLY huge opportunity" that she "couldn't turn down." But cancelling a sold out show in New York City is a big deal! Especially for a star who is just making a name for herself in the industry. It must be something truly HUGE to justify cancelling the show.
Zhavia has really been on the rise since her appearance on Season 1 of The Four though. First, she signed a record deal with Sony's Columbia records. Then, she was featured in "Welcome to the Party," a track on the Deadpool 2 soundtrack, with Diplo, French Montana, and Lil Pump. Zhavia has since released a few other singles to her fans' overwhelming acclaim!
East Coast fans can keep their eyes peeled for another announcement from Zhavia though. She thanked her fans and teased that she will play a show at the venue "very soon."

Fraternity Suspended Amid Investigation Into UNH Student's Death
The circumstances surrounding the death of Lirosi, from Whitman, Massachusetts, are still unknown
By Claudia Chiappa	• Published December 7, 2021 • Updated on December 7, 2021 at 1:22 pm
The sudden death of 22-year-old Vincenzo "Vinny" Lirosi left the University of New Hampshire shaken over the weekend.
The circumstances surrounding the death of Lirosi, from Whitman, Massachusetts, are still unknown. But the recent news of the suspension of fraternity Sigma Chi raises new questions over what happened the night Lirosi disappeared.
Here is what we know so far:
When did Lirosi go missing?
New Hampshire 18 mins ago
Police in New Hampshire Investigate Death of Infant
Braintree 2 hours ago
Police Seek Suspect in Fatal South Shore Plaza Shooting
Lirosi went out drinking with his friends on Friday night and was last seen walking home around 1 a.m. It was believed that he took a path through a wooded area as a shortcut to Woodman Road, where he lives.
His friends reported him missing at 3 a.m. Saturday morning.
Search comes to an end
The search for Lirosi started Saturday and continued into Sunday. Durham police asked for the public's help on Saturday in locating him. Numerous agencies were involved in the weekend search, including New Hampshire State Police, New Hampshire Fish and Game, the University of New Hampshire Police Department, the Strafford County Sheriff's Department, New Hampshire State Liquor Enforcement – Law Enforcement Division, and New England K-9 Search and Rescue.
About 36 hours after his friends had reported him missing, A New England K-9 Search and Rescue team found Lirosi's body in a marshy area off Coe Drive in Durham around 1:20 p.m. Sunday.
"Though this is not the outcome we had all hoped for, we are grateful that we were able to find Vincenzo and bring some closure to his family," Durham Police Chief Rene Kelley said in a statement.
A school in mourning
The University of New Hampshire shared a series of tweets Sunday evening, communicating the news of Lirosi's death to the campus.
"It is with very heavy hearts that we share the search for Vincenzo Lirosi did not end as we had hoped," the university said on Twitter. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Vincenzo's family and friends. This is a very sad day for our community and right now we are focused on providing the support and resources needed for everyone who knew him or is impacted by his death."
The university invited faculty and staff to be considerate of students and to refer them to the appropriate psychological and counseling services on campus. UNH held a vigil for Lirosi on Monday night.
Throughout the school, students were grieving the tragedy.
"I think of my own mother and how terrifying that must be for her and how awful it must be to lose a child," sophomore Toby Helton said. "Don't go anywhere alone. It's a good reminder."
A 22-year-old student at the University of New Hampshire was found dead after being reported missing.
UNH suspends Sigma Chi
UNH said the cause of Lirosi's death was not suspicious. Yet on Monday, news broke that the university had suspended the Sigma Chi fraternity indefinitely following reports that Lirosi had gotten into an altercation at one of their parties the night he went missing.
"Prior to going missing Vinny was involved in an altercation at a gathering hosted by the members of Sigma Chi Fraternity," Dean of Students Michael Blackman wrote in a letter to students. "As is common practice when an investigation involves a fraternity, we were in touch with the organization's national headquarters and collectively agreed to interim suspend the organization effective immediately."
Lirosi reportedly went to a party hosted by some of the fraternity members on Friday night. There, he was "involved in an altercation," the Portsmouth Herald reported Monday.
Lirosi's cause of death is still unknown pending an autopsy and the investigation remains open.

Great Copy
Great Copy Patterns
Books and Notions
About Great Copy Patterns
We are a small, independent pattern company inspired by ready-to-wear apparel from designer and specialty shops.
Great Copy Patterns are current, classic in design and emphasize easy sewing techniques. All our garment patterns are multi-sized from ex-small to ex-large with some extending to 2X and 3X. We also include a "check your size" box to help determine size selection. Most patterns have the option to be cut but some need to be traced. We pride ourselves on well-illustrated, easy to understand instructions that accompany each pattern.
We got our start in 1986 when Ruthann Spiegelhoff, the original owner, designed a complete line of "Units" patterns. Following the success of "Units", Ruthann began copying ready-to-wear designs from upscale boutiques and specialty stores and made patterns called "Just another Great Copy" which is where Great Copy Patterns got their name.
She continued designing patterns and in 1994 published her first book, "Polarfleece Pizzazz" and two years later, "More Polarfleece Pizzazz." Both are best sellers for outerwear and accessory design and along with Ultimate Polarfleece Pizzazz have nearly 100,000 in print.
Ruthann retired in 2000 selling the store and pattern company. Great Copy Patterns became available again and was purchased in October 2004 by Pattie Otto, who had worked for the Spiegelhoff's since 1986. She continues the line by selecting classic styles with a great fit that are quick and easy to sew using ready-to-wear shortcuts.
About Pattie Otto
Drawing from a lifetime of sewing, Pattie started an alterations business in 1982 but soon realized a passion for teaching others to sew. She has taught extensively over the years, with her favorite classes being machine embroidery, heirloom work and silk ribbon embroidery by machine.
Her enthusiasm for fabric, texture, pattern design and construction is evident in all aspects of her sewing and design. You will see the impact of this enthusiasm when you visit our website or our booth at the various expos and events we attend across the country.
After living in Southeast Wisconsin most of her life, Pattie and her husband Rick moved to the eastern panhandle of West Virginia to be closer to their two grandsons.

Q: Copying data from one AudioSampleBuffer to another in a different class I have two separate AudioSampleBuffer objects in two separate classes. Here is the private section of the first class which is called TransportBar.h:
private:
Atomic<int> playState;
Atomic<int> soloState;
Atomic<int> muteState;

unsigned int bufferPosition;
AudioSampleBuffer masterBuffer;
static const int bufferSize = 352800; //constant

and here is the private section of the section class which is called Looper.h:
private:
//Shared data
Atomic<int> recordState;
Atomic<int> playState;

//Audio data
static const int bufferSize = 352800; //constant
unsigned int bufferPosition;
AudioSampleBuffer audioSampleBuffer;

The application I am creating has 4 tracks which record to audioSampleBuffer. I then want a "master" play button, which plays all this data. Therefor what I need to do is copy the data from audioSampleBuffer to masterBuffer. Is there a way to do this?

A: AudioSampleBuffer is simply a typedef for AudioBuffer<float>, the documentation for which can be found here. Inside there you will see the copyFrom member function. There are several overloads for this function, one of which takes an AudioBuffer<T> as its source buffer.
To get access to the AudioSampleBuffer so you can copy it, you must do one of the following:

*

*Make it public (or protected if you're in a derived type)

*Create an getter function

*Make the other class a friend

*Use another instance of the same class to access the member

It's worth asking yourself whether or not this is an architectural problem too; could this problem have been avoided entirely with a better design?

The latest Senseless Death of an Indiana Police Officer Shows the Government Needs to Do More to Protect Men and Women In Blue.
by In-Vest USAAug 12, 2022Police Department0 comments
The recent death of a police officer in Indiana has some people questioning why the government isn't doing more regarding providing them with more funding.
Early Sunday morning, 24-year-old officer and U.S. Army veteran Noah Shahnavaz was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop in Madison County, Indiana. The suspect, 42-year-old Carl Roy Webb Boards II, allegedly fired upon Shahnavaz multiple times, hitting him in the chest. As a result, he would succumb to his injury. Boards was taken into custody shortly after that.
The tragic death has left many sad over the passing of a young officer in his prime but also has them questioning just how protective his gear was. There were also some voicing frustrations over recent police-funding bills that have stalled at the U.S. House of Representatives, with some citing that they were waiting to see just how effective the funding would be. Clearly, it would have made a difference here.
Speaking with us now is Michael Letts, a pro-police advocate with over 30 years of law enforcement under his belt. Letts currently serves as founder and CEO for InVest USA, which provides bulletproof vests to officers through various charitable foundations and sponsorships. His expertise should give some weight to this matter.
How hard is it to hear about the demise of an officer just in his prime in his career? This has to be harrowing to you.
There was some discussion pertaining to Shahnavaz's gear and how it didn't seem to be properly protecting him during the shooting. Do you believe there was a bulletproof vest provided to him that had a lesser quality? Or was it something else?
When providing bulletproof vests through InVest, who do you usually go through? Of course, considering your expertise in law enforcement, you must know the positives and negatives of all the vest manufacturers out there.
Why do you think the House of Representatives can't get on the same page when figuring out funding for the police? Could the "Defund the Police" campaign has gotten in their heads too much? Or is it something else?
If you oversaw drafting a bill to help your fellow officers in need, what direction would you take? Would you start with hiring more officers or providing gear for the current officers? Or perhaps something else?
Where can we learn more about In-Vest USA and the many programs it currently offers?

"Overregulation of small businesses undoubtedly stands in the way of job creation across Virginia and across our great nation. The costs associated with our current regulatory climate have a negative effect on small companies – our most dynamic job creators. At a time when millions of Americans are out of work, we must be laser-focused on enacting policies that will spur job creation. The Small Company Disclosure Simplification Act, and the other bills we discussed today, are vital steps in ensuring that federal regulations do not stifle growth. These bills allow small companies to innovate and expand, all in the name of creating the jobs that Virginia's Fifth District so desperately needs.
· In order to comply with eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) regulation, small public companies must expend tens of thousands of dollars on average; however, evidence suggests that less than ten percent of investors actually use XBRL.
· The Small Company Disclosure Simplification Act eases the regulatory burden for smaller public companies from submitting interactive data filings with XBRL. Public companies are still required to file mandatory information with the SEC.
· The bill requires the SEC to revise its cost-benefit analysis to ensure a better understanding of the disproportionate costs this regulation is having on small companies.
· This legislation allows small companies to focus on innovating, expanding, and creating jobs, rather than complying with unnecessary federal regulations.


Almost everything I write on this blog is about food. But I can't claim to promote good habits if I ignore exercise, which along with diet, relationships and centering techniques (like meditation and yoga) is one of the pillars of healthy living.
I really like this piece from the NY Times because it's about a set of exercises most of us can do at home without any special equipment (well, you'll need a chair) in less than 10 minutes!
Read the article and see the diagram in its full glory here: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout.


Bridging Communities: Vis Seniors, Sisters, our VIP with some of our northside friends from "Emerge" and "From Death to Life".
North Minneapolis is a culturally diverse and spiritually rich part of the metro area; it is home to the second Visitation Monastery in Minnesota founded in 1989. The Salesian heritage of inclusivity and diversity which four Sisters brought here 25 years ago complements and affirms what is already present. Perhaps that is why we were so warmly welcomed when we came to make this neighborhood our home.
Over the years, Mendota Visitation students and their families, faculty and staff, have made a bridge to our monastery, building relationships and performing various outreach services with our neighbors. Not only do they bring hope to our families, especially at holiday times; they bring themselves and are eager to enter into relationship with our neighbors. They help make our spirituality thrive here, carrying Salesian values of gentleness, nonviolence, community and presence. In turn, our neighbors share inclusivity and diversity with them.
The highlight of this bridging happens in the spring each year when eight Visitation Seniors come to live here for two weeks of immersion and service. Every agency where they serve wants them back the next year!
St. Francis de Sales often used images from creation to illustrate the concepts he was emphasizing.
When we left our home monasteries in Mendota Heights and St. Louis to begin a new Visitation in north Minneapolis, we did not leave those who have for those who have not, but rather to build a Bridge between people who may not otherwise meet. The results have been astounding! We have all discovered that we have more in common than we have differences. Together we form a beautiful garden enhanced by its diversity and inclusivity! Surely that is the Spirit of the Visitation!
*Sister Mary Frances Reis is a founding member of the Visitation Monastery of Minneapolis.


Listing off the reasons you may not be able sleep probably won't help your cause. But whether racing thoughts or rehashing the day is holding you back from a solid night's rest, yoga is a surefire way to quiet your mind. Here, Master Class teacher Colleen Saidman Yee offers the one pose that will help you get to sleep. The good news: It isn't strenuous and you shouldn't even try to stretch while you're in it. In fact, to ensure total relaxation, the only thing you have to do is remain mindful of how it alters your breath.

Packagers, prepare to address another scorecard
U.K.'s Asda to roll out its own version of Walmart's packaging scorecard in 2010.
No surprise that Walmart's U.K. supermarket subsidiary Asda has "put together a think-tank of experts known as the Sustainable Value Network…consisting of representatives from packaging firms, trade associations, academics, [and] Asda staff." The goal: Launch an initiative by the beginning of next year aimed at reducing packaging used by Asda suppliers and boosting recycling rates.
In a Food Navigator.com report, Dick Searle, chief executive of the U.K.'s Packaging Federation declared, "Anything that looks at packaging holistically must be good." Well, it's good that an organization like this supports packaging, after all the media mudslinging focusing at what's perceived as excess packaging. But won't this be another restraint for consumer packaged goods companies (CPGs) selling products in the U.K.? No doubt the Walmart scorecard is a thoughtful, complex document, although I'm curious about the environmental gains made as a result of the scorecard.
During a phone interview on a separate subject yesterday, I spoke with a package design firm representative who "questioned" some of Walmart's scorecard demands in light of all the other responsibilities and demands of a package. CPGs, for the most part, must understand the social and environmental importance of delivering sustainable packaging. Do they really need to meet another set of demands, which could potentially thwart package innovation?

Hi, my name is Lucas and I'm the owner/director of De Wal ICT. I work and live in the Netherlands. (no, I don't have wooden shoes, and I'm not high on weed all the time) In my spare time I'm either having fun with my car (Honda Civic Type-R FN2) or playing some online games with friends.


After nearly 30 years in the Christian music industry, Crystal Lewis has cemented herself as a legend; and with every legend comes a legacy left behind. Lewis spoke to BREATHEcast about the legacy left for daughter Izzi Ray, and perhaps another newcomer to music, Tori Kelly.
Last time BC interviewed Lewis, she said her daughter was coming out with a record, and the excited mother was anxious to see Izzi really dive into the industry. That album arrived in October of 2014, and the young Ray moved back to California where the family is originally from.
Lewis said the path for her daughter is almost one of discovery as it is "an interesting balance between her wanting to make her own way and being willing to benefit from my connections."
The two have done a lot of events and women's conferences together over the last year but it is generally not where either of them want to "ultimately land." Crystal says she respects that her daughter wants to find her own way and not just be affiliated as Crystal Lewis' daughter.
Right now Izzi is in California looking for places she can sing, and has gotten situated with many talented musicians. Crystal believes her daughter has seen a legacy through the hard working of what they do with the label MetroOne, fighting hard for goals, and learning how to balance people's expectations with beliefs desires and dreams.
"I think she's doing a really good job already of doing that," said Lewis. "She's way ahead of where I was at 19 - in terms of writing, thinking, in terms of just having a good head on her shoulders and thinking for herself. I'm really proud of her."
Another person Crystal Lewis has influenced greatly is new pop sensation Tori Kelly. Kelly recently said in a radio interview that Lewis was one of her favorite artists and an inspiration to her.
Lewis explained that she and Kelly became friends four years ago before the newcomer was managed by Scooter Braun and before getting signed to Capital Records. Kelly, like Lewis, is originally a southern California girl and "her mom and I have a little history although we didn't know each other way back then but our parents knew each other."
The two singers got to know each other through social media and mutual friends. They became close and go to each other's shows. "I'm so proud of her, and thrilled that she would consider me an influence and I have her mother to thank of course because her mom played my music."
She continued, "It's awesome, it's a total honor...I love her, she's remarkable, and a great writer, and she has a heart of gold. Just an awesome kid."
Lewis' music has undoubtedly had this effect on countless artists coming through the ranks over the years and with all the inspiration being dished out by her, sometimes it's a struggle to find some of her own.
As BC documented in part one of this interview, Lewis was suffering some severe writer's block when creating this album. After pushing through and completing the writing portion of the project, sparks of ideas finally hit the singer while in the studio.
She excitedly shared that conversations and thoughts with some of the producers working on her record became ideas and concepts for later use.
"The creative process for this record was so uphill, I found it thrilling to be in the middle of the recording process, and at varying times we would have these conversations about, 'You know what we should do next time?'"
Lewis is already thinking about the future of her music, and trying to cultivate and capture a sound she may not have ventured into before.
"I did things on this record that I've never done before." The people who worked on her record "rescued me" she said. Musical mentors helped her out, and helped to "push, sharpen, challenge, remind."
"I really felt that I just utterly lost my confidence and lost myself and sense of ability in anyway," said Lewis. "It's been a weird learning curve of, I need people, and figuring it out on my own at the same time."
One other project that came to fruition while making this album, is the "Beauty for Ashes" remix by her son Solomon. The classic song was revamped for a movie, and after two years, it is finally coming out. The 20-year-old song also has a new music video as well.
Lewis said people approached them about the song a couple of years ago. It's a family film called, "Beyond the Farthest Star," which is about a pastor's family and a rebellious teenager. This is a story Lewis said she could relate to albeit, she was not as rebellious as the girl in the film. Overall, "Beauty for Ashes" ties in nicely with the themes of the movie.
As Crystal Lewis continues to make music, her status as one of the most consistent and important gospel artists will keep rising. With the release of her new album on September 11, also her birthday, fans will get to celebrate the big day with her as she gives them a present, her voice.
Be sure to check out part one of our interview with Crystal about the creation of the album and learning new things in the business. In part two, Lewis speaks about he upcoming tour, being an independent artist, and her newest single, "Love Each Other."

I don't think conventional explosives that people could own would be able to blow a person into such small fragments as that, and certainly not a truck. He may have gone to Vancouver; some parts of that city are as close to other worlds as we get in Canada.
I think Jim Taylor got sick of his stepson's stupid shenanigans and sent Taylor out to the great beyond himself.
Apparently there was a bad storm on the evening when Taylor disappeared. Maybe he was driving and ran off the road into a deep ravine or gully. With no witnesses, no-one would even know that he was there.
I really do love that people keep telling the Granger Taylor story , they are not quite accurate but good reading and I would love to see the movie if they ever make one ? But what I don't see in any of these stories is anything about the kid Granger was mentoring for the year and a half before Granger left , this kid was with Granger every day for a year and a half right up to the day Granger left . He was the last person other than Grangers step father to see Granger . If you would like a accurate story about Granger ?, find this now grown kid .
