What does the 21st century promise in its ubiquity of interconnection? Does it allege an innovative spirit meant to propel itself into infinity, where we've never before gone? Or does it suggest a refinement of the cultural institutions that brought us here, building on what we know? Can modernity promise anything to its adherents beyond a guarantee of a lifelong swim awash in the fervent, chaotic ocean of life? Perhaps qualified, perhaps not, Montreal's jangly post-punk trio Boy Friends hazards their best guesses as to these quandaries throughout their debut full length, Magnet School.
Through the candid aptitude of their punk demeanor, the band reflects these metropolitan concerns in the album's single, "Finer Points," stating bluntly, "the fear of safety in groups is what keeps us violent." Though a decidedly poignant lyric, around it is woven the signature sound of Boy Friends: anthemic and driving with virtuosic articulations, cutting at the throat of contemporary ennui.
Together, Cas, Andrew (bass), and Evan (drums) promise the interconnection of pop and punk, translating the former through accessible intrigue, and the latter through a tasteful refinement of the cultural institution itself. Effectively, Boy Friends seems poised to reel in a modern focus of the incessant machinations of punk and pop crossover. With angling guitars ringing reminiscent of The Smiths against the rhythmic backdrop hearkening the metrics of Tera Melos, it behooves one to attend Magnet School at their earliest convenience.

The Liberian Billboard Sports Desk- BASKETBALL superstar LeBron James showed a touch of class by opening a school for underprivileged children in his home town. The 33-year-old NBA great will house 240-at-risk children at the I Promise School in Akron, Ohio offering free tuition.
The LeBron James Family Foundation and Akron Public Schools will run the school in a joint venture for eight, nine and ten-year-olds. The school will also offer free uniforms, free meals, a free bicycle and a guaranteed place at the University of Akron for everybody who graduates.
James tweeted: "Big dreams for the kids in Akron to give them everything they could need to find their passion, give back to our community and change the world".
James has won three NBA titles and will go down as one of the greatest basketball players ever. He recently moved to the Los Angeles Lakers from the Cleveland Cavaliers, signing a four-year £116million deal with the California team.
James has a net worth of £210m and is sixth on the list of highest-paid athletes, according to Forbes. But he was once a poor kid from Akron who missed school because his family didn't have a car. He owned a bike when he was young, meaning he could explore and get away from dangerous neighbourhoods.
He added: "We want to create an environment of family where you want to always be around your family. No matter the good and the bad, you always want to be around that support system. By using my voice and letting the youth know and the people that need the guidance know that I care for them and I'm going to be their voice".

O avéstico (muito conhecido também como zenda) é uma língua iraniana oriental, próxima ao sânscrito, pertencente à família das línguas indo-europeias, utilizada na antiga Pérsia, na qual está escrito o Avestá ou livro sagrado do Zoroastrismo.

Características gerais
O avéstico possuía três gêneros gramaticais: masculino, feminino e neutro e três números: singular, dual ou plural. Como as demais línguas indo-europeias, o avéstico é uma língua flexiva: os substantivos são declinados em oito casos (nominativo, acusativo, instrumental, dativo, ablativo, locativo e genitivo).

O alfabeto avéstico é uma evolução da escrita pálavi tardia que por sua vez deriva do alfabeto aramaico.

Do note that some might require a second hair transplant for better results if there is a large area of baldness.
4.1 1. Will I experience pain before and after the hair transplant surgery?
4.2 2. Does the transplant procedure leave scars?
4.3 3. Can the patient go back to work right after the surgical procedure?
4.4 4. How many days to fully recover?
4.5 5. How long will it take to see results after a hair transplant?
4.6 6. What are the most important factors to consider when thinking of a hair transplant?
4.7 7. Will my transplanted hair drop/ fall out?
Technically, normal hair grows in groupings called follicular units. Each follicular unit has one to four hair follicles.
Hair restoration or hair transplantation is a procedure when an individual follicular unit from a donor site (which is usually on the back and/or sides of the head) is transplanted to the area of the head where baldness or hair thinning is visible.
Hair transplant surgery involves "shifting" of healthy hair follicles from the back of your scalp to the areas of hair loss or thinning.
The average cost of hair transplant surgery for the scalp in Singapore is between $8,000 to $12,000.
This is because the average number of hair grafts needed is 2000 grafts and the average price per graft is $5 SGD.
Scalp hair transplant is the most common area of hair transplant surgery in Singapore.
Hair loss grafting, also known as hair transplant, is an outpatient procedure where hair grafts are transplanted to the hair. There are different types of hair graft and the amount depends on the procedure and amount of hair needed.
For robotic FUE hair transplant using ARTAS, the average price per graft is $10. This is roughly double of manual FUE Hair Transplant.
For scalp hair transplant using FUE method, the average cost of hair transplant surgery in Singapore is between $8,000 to $12,000.
For less than 1,500 grafts, the cost per graft is commonly $6/graft.
The price of FUT hair transplant surgery in Singapore ranges from $8000 to $10000.
Compared to FUE hair transplant, FUT is a higher risk procedure that requires more tedious steps.
The FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) procedure involves cutting a strip of the patient's scalp off, before proceeding to harvest the individual hair grafts before transplant.
The bare area is usually then sewn up together to prevent the bald patch from being seen.
Regenera Activa Hair Transplant costs $3500 to $6000 depending on the severity of hair loss and hair thinning.
Regenera Activa is a minimally invasive hair transplant alternative that uses "micro-grafts" extracted from your healthy scalp and injected into areas of unhealthy scalp and hair loss to regrow hair.
The most common reason for hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, or pattern hair loss. Up to 80% of men and 40% of females will experience significant hair loss and stunted hair growth from this condition. It is a condition that is understood to be hereditary (passed down from parent to child in the genes) and related to the male hormone, di-hydro-testosterone or DHT.
This pattern of hair loss is progressive and the main feature of it is thinning of the shafts of the hair (i.e. each strand of hair appears thinner and limper) due to damage to the hair follicle (some refer to this as the hair root) – this phenomenon is called 'miniaturisation'.
Hair loss and hair thinning is due to "miniaturisation" caused by male hormones.
The condition is called 'pattern' hair loss because, in the large majority of those afflicted, it follows a 'pattern' of hair thinning. In men, it usually starts from the hairline or crown and spreads to involve the rest of the scalp. Hair growth also becomes difficult around the affected area.
In women, it starts from the centre parting and spreads outwards to involve a larger area of the scalp. In women, especially, a prominent amount of shedding can occur as part of this type of hair loss.
Ludwig scale shows how hair loss and hair thinning worsens for females.
Involutional Alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs as part of the natural aging process. It is when the hair spends more time in the resting phase (telogen) or the shedding phase (catagen) instead of the growth phase (anagen).
Hair is constantly in the growth phase. However, with age, hair's growth becomes less frequent and the shedding or resting phase intervals are longer.
Alopecia Areata is an auto-immune disease that affects more than six million Americans. The skin disease causes hair loss on the scalp, face, and the body. While it can be a hereditary disease, it is also a polygenic disease. This means that both parent's genes should be responsible for passing it to the offspring. Because of that, scientists believe that Alopecia areata is not purely hereditary and can be environmental as well.
There are three types of Alopecia areata. There's Alopecia areata patchy; Alopecia areata totalis which is total baldness in the scalp; and Alopecia Areata Universalis where baldness extends from the scalp to the face and body.
While a receding hairline is more common with men than women, both genders are affected. This is the first sign of pattern hair loss and can be caused by a number of factors such as age, hormonal changes, heredity, medications and illnesses, or an unhealthy lifestyle.
Other reasons for hair loss include telogen effluvium, where shedding of hair is the main feature and does not follow any particular pattern, this type of hair loss is often seen around 3-6 months after a sudden stressful event such as childbirth, major surgery or severe emotional stress.
If the shedding is severe, it can reveal more areas of the scalp, causing the appearance of balding.
If telogen effluvium persists for more than 6 months, hair restoration practitioners deem this as 'chronic telogen effluvium' and further investigations such as blood tests are warranted.
1. Will I experience pain before and after the hair transplant surgery?
The second round of smaller local anaesthetic injections will be needed to prepare the recipient, or the bald area, for the implantation of follicular grafts. You'll be uncomfortable during this period, too. After this, your scalp will feel numb for up to 18 hours.
Patients normally take mild painkillers for 1 – 2 days after the treatment. Prolonged pain is uncommon, so it's best to consult your hair transplant doctor if you're experiencing continuous pain.
2. Does the transplant procedure leave scars?
The donor area skin heals very well.
But the FUE is not a scarless procedure. Tiny spots of 0.8mm hypopigmented marks can be seen when you look closely at the area or when you shave your head.
It would be advisable to keep your hair from 2 to 5 mm in length at the donor area to hide the scars.
3. Can the patient go back to work right after the surgical procedure?
It's not advisable to go back to work right after your hair transplant unless your work is sedentary.
You'll be wearing a bandage on the donor are to keep it free from bacteria and to ensure quick healing. The bandage will be removed a day after the procedure. Your hair and scalp will be washed in the clinic by our team to ensure that no grafts will be removed or damaged.
4. How many days to fully recover?
After a week, the donor area may have grown out enough to cover up the punch marks from the FUE procedure. During this time, the scabs would have formed, which indicates the healing process. These scabs will drop off after a week.
It's also advised that you avoid any heavy physical activity for the first 2 – 3 days after the hair transplant procedure. You should also avoid steam rooms, saunas, and chlorinated pools for 1 to 2 months after the procedure.
5. How long will it take to see results after a hair transplant?
You'll see hair shafts that are detached from the implanted roots in the first 1 to 4 months. This is completely normal since the hair follicles undergo a cycle of shedding and growing. From 4 to 6 months, you'll expect stronger transplanted hair that come out from your scalp. You will see 80% of positive results in the ninth month, but it will take up to a year to see full results.
Some hair restoration doctors claim there will be further improvement up to 18 months.
6. What are the most important factors to consider when thinking of a hair transplant?
The most important is your level of "comfortability" with the clinic and the team that will handle your treatment. The doctor must be able to answer all of your questions about the treatment.
Hair transplant is considered to be a permanent solution, but you might not be a good candidate for this treatment.
You may opt for medications or undergo Regenera Activa procedure to prevent further hair loss and optimize the condition of your existing hair.
Hair transplantation or hair restoration surgery is a medical procedure that must be performed by a trained doctor and a team.
7. Will my transplanted hair drop/ fall out?
The newly transplanted hair will fall after a month or two after the procedure. This is a type of "shock loss" but it's temporary. The healthy follicles are alive and will produce new hairs within 3 to 4 months.
The stages of hair transplant journey will require you to have more patience, but rest assured, you will see results a year after the hair transplant surgery.

EXPLORERS is an innovative programme of art and discourse that challenges perceptions through creating supportive and deeply affecting interactions between neurotypical and non-neurotypical collaborators.
EXPLORERS 2021+
We are currently preparing a publication that will help initiate what we hope will be a new 3-year body of EXPLORERS work, nationally and internationally, carrying on some partnerships and developing some exciting new ones. Watch this space for more details soon.
EXPLORERS 2017-2019
The original EXPLORERS project was a three-year programme of conversation and relationship-building between cultural organisations, social care organisations, and artists/individuals. Its aim was to recognise the extraordinary contribution people with complex needs can make to mainstream culture, positioning them as decision makers, producers and creators.
The programme resulted in 6 co-commissioned exhibitions across the UK and in Sydney, Australia as well as events, seminars and a national conference on Art, Rights and Representation in November 2019.
Each co-commission engaged with neurodiverse communities and the people and systems of support around them, placing a discourse around inclusion at the centre of mainstream exhibition spaces. This in turn was aimed at breaking down barriers with people who are often some of the most marginalised in society.
The inherent awareness raising within EXPLORERS opens up greater understanding of diverse states of being within art and culture. Different ways of perceiving and interacting with the world provide rich territories for creative programming and new art.
The original EXPLORERS partnership of 12 national and international organisations was selected for their individual expertise, their openness to change and commitment to socially connected practice. The project legacy includes creative producers who are experienced and sensitive to including neurominority people at the heart of cultural programmes.
Partners included:
1. Tate Liverpool
2. MK Gallery
3. Autograph ABP
4. Fabrica
5. Photoworks
6. UNSW, National Institute for Experimental Arts, Sydney, Australia
7. De La Warr Pavilion
Visit the Explorers Website at explorersproject.com.
For more information about the project please contact Martin Swan at [email protected].
EXPLORERS has been supported by the Arts Council Ambition for Excellence Programme and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

The Tornado Tube® has "wowed" science enthusiasts young and old for over 25 years. At the Tornado Tube®'s conception the nationally syndicated "Today Show" featured the tube. Throughout its' years, national and local television meteorologists have swirled the Tornado Tube® during their weather reports to help viewers understand vortex action. Many of these meteorologists use the Tornado Tube® as visual aids when visiting classrooms. Newspaper photos pop up in all corners of the US as school age children work on science experiments using the Tornado Tube®. Colleges order the Tornado Tube for more sophisticated experiments and discussions.
As an inquisitive young boy, Craig Burnham invented the TORNADO TUBE® as he experimented in his parents' basement.
Fifteen years would pass before Craig sought for and received a patent for his science toy. Since its debut at the New York Toy Fair in 1988, the TORNADO TUBE® has become increasingly popular and sells worldwide!
Partially fill with water one of the 2 two-liter size plastic soda bottles.
Tip, so that the full bottle is on top and give it a circular starting whirl. Presto! You have a vortex. Call it a tornado if you're a meteorologist, or a whirlpool if you're into oceanography.

Yorkshire Murder Stories
Home > Books by Subject > Murder Stories « Back
A collection of solved and unsolved murders from Yorkshire. The murders are recounted in a factual analysis of the events leading up to the murder and how the perpetrators were tracked down, tried and what punishment was handed down.
Yorkshire Murder Stories is a family title and does not include graphic details of events. There are however some images of the location where the murder took place or photographs of the perpetrator.
In this collection of horrendous transgressions committed in Englands largest county, I have assembled tales from across the centuries, from Civil War times to the 1960s. The killers' methods range from poison to shotguns, and from attacks in the dark to cruel murder in broad daylight.
Most of these cases are not famous or infamous, but they all share one feature: the taking of a human life in situations of extreme passion, whether through a desire for profit or from a need to remove the victim from this earth, for some kind of heinous satisfaction.
I have included a number of unsolved cases, and these present a special allure to the general reader as much as to the crime investigator: 'who dunnit' is the key word.
This is a notion that moves us to read crime novels and also to feel the unease that a crime scene from long ago seems to have for us.
Overall, the county known as 'Broad Acres' has given the annals of murder some of their most gruesome and puzzling cases. Strangely, when we read these stories today, we find that though contexts change over time, the basic human passions never do, and these may sometimes lead to the killing of another person.

Gore Vidal's Fights
Inigo Thomas
Pugilistic, provocative: when was the late Gore Vidal not up for a fight? He and Norman Mailer famously fought – in public, in private. Mailer head-butted Vidal just before the two men appeared on the Dick Cavett Show in 1971. 'You're a liar and a hypocrite,' Mailer told Vidal once the programme had begun. Six years later, Mailer knocked Vidal to the floor at a party in New York. 'Once again words fail Norman Mailer,' Vidal said, before he got up. 'He was very kind when I was in a lot of trouble,' Mailer said of Vidal a decade later as the two headed towards reconciliation, or accommodation. 'Gore is a most avuncular fellow. Then we broke. If I ever see him again I will smash him. Still, he and I are in some way bound together, like a bad marriage.'
William Buckley, the founding editor of the National Review, stayed an enemy after a famous confrontation at the Democratic Convention in 1968. 'As far as I'm concerned, the only pro or crypto-Nazi I can think of is yourself,' Vidal told Buckley on live TV. Buckley, seething, replied: 'Now, listen, you queer. Stop calling me a crypto-fascist or I'll sock you in your goddam face and you'll stay plastered.' The host intervened: 'Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's not call names.' Buckley carried on: 'Let the author of Myra Breckinridge go back to his pornography and stop making allusions to Nazism.' Nevertheless Vidal and Buckley turned up together the next day to appear on the last of convention debates.
Of his many enemies, Richard Nixon was maybe his most substantial, a monster who, he thought, best represented the United States. In his huge essay collection United States, a book of 1300 pages, there are more references to Nixon than anyone else: more than that other enemy, JFK, and more than the writer he most admired, Henry James. One of the best pieces in that book is on the Watergate burglar, one-time CIA agent and prolific writer of bad spy novels, Howard Hunt. Vidal and Truman Capote agreed about almost nothing, but neither could understand why, in the 1940s when neither of them had much money, a Guggenheim award was handed out to a non-entity (and future crook) like Hunt. So when Hunt's name resurfaced after the Watergate story broke, Vidal went about investigating the Hunt career. 'The Art and Arts of E. Howard Hunt' was the result, and here are some of his observations:
On Hunt's first novel, Limit of Darkness: 'The actual writing... is not at all bad; it is not at all good either.'
On the Office of Strategic Services, forerunner of the CIA: 'A cloak-and-dagger outfit whose clandestine activities probably did not appreciably lengthen the war.'
On Hunt: 'The hick from western New York who had gone not to Harvard but to Brown, who had not fought in the Second World War but worked behind the lines, who had failed as a serious novelist, found for himself in the CIA a marvellous sort of club where he could rub shoulders with those nobles whose savoir-faire enthralled him. After all, social climbing is one of the most exciting games our classless society has to offer.'
On Hunt's involvement in the Bay of Pigs: 'The paradox of the right-wing American who swears by law and order yet never hesitates to break the law for his own benefit.'
On Arthur Benson, the would-be assassin of George Wallace, whose house was allegedly broken into by Hunt; Vidal believed Hunt was trying to plant papers that would implicate the left in the assassination attempt: 'The absence of any logical motive is now familiar to most Americans, who are quite at home with the batty killer who acts alone in order to be on television, to be forever entwined with the golden legend of the hero he has gunned down. In a nation that worships psychopaths, the Oswald-Bremer-Sirhan-Ray figure is to the general illness what Robin Hood was to a greener, saner world.'

You may already be familiar with other games in Net Entertainment's "through the ages" Video Slot collection, and with titles including "The Groovy 60s" and "The Super 80s", it was only natural we'd be seeing a game built around the 70's! In fact, The Funky Seventies – funnily enough, a Net Entertainment game that is based in the 1970's – has actually been around since 2013, so it's one of the software provider's older slots… but that doesn't mean it's not worth playing.
The Funky Seventies uses five reels, forty paylines and four rows for your gaming entertainment, and the setting and backdrop behind the reels is a collage of 1970s collectibles, including Platform Shoes and Vintage Cars, all which are displayed underneath a classic, sparkling Disco Ball. The musical soundtrack is just as good, with funky guitar licks entertaining your every spin (and boy oh boy do they go crazy during the bonus.
The symbols displayed on the reels include Vintage 70's items, such as Cassette Tapes, Platform Boots, an old-school Camera, a Glitterball, an extremely old computer, and a Classic Car. The bonus symbols found in the game include a 70's Wild Symbol, as well as an Afro-haired girl, who takes the form of a scatter symbols.
Despite the old-school theme found in The Funky Seventies, Net Entertainment have managed to bring the technology behind the game up to speed, ensuring that mobile and tablet players can enjoy the Video Slot as well! Simply open up the game from your chosen online casino, and tilt your device into landscape mode in order to begin playing.
Almost every slot game on the planet use a universal use for Wild Symbols; they replace all other symbols (aside from bonus and scatter symbols), and help contribute towards winning lines, where – without them – there would be no win. However, in The Funky Seventies, you'll notice that the Wild Symbols can appear stacked, on any of the reels, meaning you can – potentially – land three, four… even five full wild reels, amassing to massive payouts.
To land the free-spins, you'll need to land three of the Afro-haired lady on the reels. You'll then be awarded an instant 2X cash prize, and you'll be given 5 free-spins, with each spin guaranteeing you a win. While this is a similar concept to Play 'N Go's Holiday Season game, the Net Entertainment version doesn't require just one scatter symbol to award more spins; instead, you'll need to land another three +, in order to re-trigger the feature. That said, the wins are a lot bigger, and generally more common in The Funky Seventies, especially since all wins during the free-spins are subject to a generous 2X multiplier.
Unfortunately, you can only re-trigger the feature up to a total of 20 free-spins, and while it's quite a rare occurrence, it does seem like a relatively small cap from Net Entertainment – but it's their game, and they're perfectly entitled to do what they want; the people who have the real say, are the players.


D&S advisor Susan Crawford discusses the possibility and implications of an AT&T and Time Warner Cable merger.
The high-speed internet access market in America is entirely stuck on a expensive plateau of uncompetitive mediocrity, with only city fiber networks providing a public option or, indeed, any alternative at all. The AT&T/TWX deal will not prompt a drop of additional competition in that market. Nor will it mean that the entertainment industry will see more competition or new entrants — just that one player will get an unfair distribution advantage. It's hard to think of a single positive thing this merger will accomplish, other than shining a bright light on just how awful the picture is for data transmission in this nation.
This deal should be dead on arrival. In fact, AT&T should spare us by dropping the idea now. This merger must not happen.


Happy Birthday. Surely, the best of times.
It is the beginning of spring here in the Western Hemisphere, which means it's time to celebrate the birthdays of Trek royalty.
Today is the 83rd birthday of Spock Prime himself, Leonard Nimoy. Mr. Nimoy, who recently disclosed that he has a smoking-related illness called COPD isn't letting anything slow him down. It was announced recently that he will be hosting two special "space-themed" performances by the Boston Pops in May, featuring music from many science fiction classics, including, of course, Star Trek. More information, including ticket prices, can be found at The Boston Pops website.
He will also be headlining a special one-night event based on his critically acclaimed one-man show, "Shatner's World". Fathom Events, a company that specializes in bringing "the best in one-night and limited-run events, like operas, comedy, Broadway productions, concerts and sports, right to your local movie theater", will be presenting a video version of "Shatner's World" in theaters around the country on April 24th. Locations, ticket prices, and other info can be found at Fathom Events.
And finally, we would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to one of the true shining lights of Star Trek. The great Dorothy "D.C" Fontana turned 75 yesterday. Fontana served as story editor of TOS during it's first and second seasons, and wrote many of the series best episodes ("Tomorrow is Yesterday", "Journey to Babel", etc.) and rewrote "This Side of Paradise", a seminal Spock episode. She also served as Associate Producer and story editor of the animated series and wrote what is probably the most popular episode, "Yesteryear". She later went to write for TNG (including the pilot) and DS9, and has written or co-written several Star Trek novels, comics, and video games.
We here at TrekMovie and fans everywhere want to wish them all a very Happy Birthday and many, many more.
It's great that these two guys are still with us!
Happy Birthday to two men I deeply admire. Thank you both for your gifts, and the wonderful times you have shared with us for all these years. No matter where things go in the future you will always be two of the greats, and your works…both Trek related and otherwise will always be enjoyed by the world.
May you both Live Long and Prosper for years to come.
Happy Birthday to three of the people who opened my eyes to the stars and to future possibilities. I personally believe I would have a had a very different life if I had not discovered Star Trek in 1966.
Happy Birthday to these three people. I agree with #4. My life would have been different, and much worse, if I had not discovered Star Trek. I am immensely grateful for these people and for Star Trek.
Happy Birthday to you special people. Thank you for making a difference.
Best Wishes to All for the next year! I love each of you and love that you gave me so many happy hours with Star Trek. I'm thankful indeed.
May you all live long, and prosper.
Happy birthday to all three of you! May the coming year bring you all that you desire.
I wish Paramount would hire Ms. Fontana to write the third reboot movie; if any living person knows how to write Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, it is she!
My own birthday is March 24th, and every year, I enjoy being born equidistant between two such great men and right next to such a great lady.
Happy Birthday (s) to Bill, Leonard, and Dorothy.
Wonderful how active you all are… and I hope you are enjoying it.
…and many more to each of them. Class acts, all.
To put a slightly different spin on it: You three have lived long and prospered, and may you continue to so do for at least as long as it takes to see mankind reach the strange new worlds of another star.
A belated "Happy Birthday" greeting to Messrs. Shatner and Nimoy. I've been a fan for almost 50 years now; you two are "Da Bomb"."The Shatner Project" sounds interesting. Maybe he could have former rapper and current DIY channel star Robert Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) work on his house. Or they can do a different show together. Just think of the title song – "Shat Shat Baby", rapped by both of them.
And, I remember Dorothy Fontana from the 1970's New York City conventions I attended. She was a fabulous and fun speaker. Happy Birthday to you, too.
Happy Birthday to Dorothy Fontana.
I hope you all had great days and grand, fun new year.
Happy birthday to all. It's a testament to the enduring legacy of Mr. Nimoy that the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater at the Griffith Observatory will be educating generations in the space sciences long after we are all gone. BZ, sir.
Happy Birthday to my Dear Friend, Timmy. From THX-1138. I wonder if Leonard remembers that? I'll never forget it.
A very happy B-day once again to both the original Kirk & Spock – both living legends. Thanks for all the adventures and all the best.
Good job, trekmovie folks. I really appreciate these posts — they're timely and well-written. I'm once again a regular visitor here.
And was sung happy birthday by everyone on had for the convention and had birthday cake.
William Shatner to appear on KTLA morning news in 8a hour PDT which is about 15 minutes from now at time of this typing.


Bitcoin [BTC] based Automated Teller Machine [ATM] is gearing up to get launched in South Africa where crypto enthusiasts are consistently increasing in number. With each passing day, the citizens of South Africa are generating more interest and inclination towards cryptocurrencies. In this context, South Africa is preceded by two other nations, namely, Djibouti and Zimbabwe. BCFocus has reported that Bitcoin [BTC] wallet Zap which is the Lightning Network wallet has recently upgraded new features.
Among all the nations in the African continent, South Africa possesses the most intricate services in the financial sector. South Africa is one of those few nations to levy taxation on cryptocurrency. This instance is quite contradictory to the norms functioning in Zimbabwe where banks are banned from conducting crypto transactions and payments.
Reports suggest that way back in 2004, Bitcoin [BTC] ATM became operation in South Africa for the first time. This Bitcoin [BTC] ATM was located at Kyalami, Johannesburg but soon it was shut down due to lack of interest among users. More than a decade has passed when the next endeavour is undertaken by Northwood Spar.
George Neophytou, the general manager of Northwood Spar has an optimistic feeling regarding this new attempt since he believes this is the right moment. With the progress of time, South Africa has evolved as a digital venture hub. Golix.com, a Zimbabwe based cryptocurrency exchange has declared its expansion by opening a new office in South Africa.
Trading and purchases of digital currencies including Bitcoin [BTC] would be permissible with the help of these Bitcoin [BTC] based cash machine. It is expected that nearly 47% of the South African population are planning to make investments in virtual currencies and their mining.
It is believed that the ATM would, "take away much of the frustration of buying and selling cryptocurrency, and hopefully help make cryptocurrencies." The endeavour would be a breakthrough in the domain of investment, trading and payment.


PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction, a molecular biology technique for amplifying segments of DNA, by generating multiple copies using DNA polymerase enzymes under controlled conditions. As little as a single copy of a DNA segment or gene can be cloned into millions of copies, allowing detection using dyes and other visualization techniques.
Developed in 1983, the process of PCR has made it possible to perform DNA sequencing and identify the order of nucleotides in individual genes. The method uses thermal cycling or the repeated heating and cooling of the reaction for DNA melting and replication. As PCR continues, the "new" DNA is used as a template for replication and a chain reaction ensues, exponentially amplifying the DNA template.
PCR techniques are applied in many areas of biotechnology including protein engineering, cloning, forensics (DNA fingerprinting), paternity testing, the diagnosis of hereditary and/or infectious diseases, and for the analysis of environmental samples.
In forensics, in particular, PCR is especially useful because it amplifies even the smallest amount of DNA evidence. PCR can also be used to analyze DNA that is thousands of years old, and these techniques have been used to identify everything from an 800,000-year-old mammoth to mummies from around the world.
Initialization: This step is necessary only for DNA polymerases that require hot-start PCR. The reaction is heated to between 94 and 96 °C and held for 1-9 minutes.
Denaturation: If the procedure does not require initialization, denaturation is the first step. The reaction is heated to 94-98 °C for 20-30 seconds. The DNA template's hydrogen bonds are disrupted and single-stranded DNA molecules are created.
Annealing: The reaction temperature is lower to between 50 and 65 °C and held for 20-40 seconds. The primers anneal to the single-stranded DNA template. The temperature is extremely important during this step. If it's too hot, the primer might not bind. If it's too cold, the primer might bind imperfectly. A good bond is formed when the primer sequence closely matches the template sequence.
Extension/Elongation: The temperature during this step varies depending upon the type of polymerase. The DNA polymerase synthesizes a completely new DNA strand.
Final elongation: This step is performed at 70-74 °C for 5-15 minutes after the final PCR cycle.
Final hold: This step is optional. The temperature is kept at 4-15 °C and strops the reaction.
Exponential amplification: During every cycle, product (the specific piece of DNA that is being replicated) is doubled.
Leveling-off stage: As the DNA polymerase loses activity and consumes reagents, the reaction slows.
Plateau: No more product accumulates.

Interview: Ed Roy Engineered Lots of Local Albums, Recorded "Roy & Roe" During Late Nights
April 26, 2014 • Interviews
You ever find significant pieces of information existing just below your nose for a long, long time without you ever realizing it? That happened a few days after I interviewed Ed Roy of the local rock group Roy & Roe.
Not only has Ed engineered a hundred-plus albums for Hawaiian musicians, he engineered my all-time favorite Hawaiian LP: Chucky Boy Chock & Oahu Brand. I should've known. Ed's engineering skills are top-notch, you can hear it in every recording he's done—the guy who hired him at Audio Media heard it too, offering Ed a job the moment Ed got behind the studio's mixing board. Find out more in my conversation with Ed below, which is part two of my interview with Roy & Roe.
(Part one featured bassist David "Roe" Rorick.)
Tell me about growing up in Hawaii, were you born and raised here?
No, I wasn't. I came to Hawaii in about 1973 for a master's program. I started on the East Coast and then transferred over to UH Manoa and finished my degree there in '77. I was there until about 1980, and then I moved back to Hawaii halfway through '81 and stayed there through '86 or '87. As soon as I graduated college I got a job at a recording studio, Audio Media. So I ended up recording a lot of local bands, a lot of local Hawaiian groups. I worked with pretty much anybody who was anybody in Hawaii. I did some work with Sons of Ni'ihau, Society Of Seven, Don Hon, the live album for Kalapana. I probably engineered about a hundred albums.
All at Audio Media Studios?
Yes, I did a lot of stuff—people from Samoa, Japan, Saigon, pretty much everybody came through those doors. When I joined Audio Media, they were an 8-track studio, then they became a 15, then they went to 24-tracks. I was also recording a lot of local commercials and local jingles I wrote. And in the meantime, I was still playing music at night.
I had known Dave for a few years from the bands I played with every day when I first came over to Hawaii. We had a rock and roll thing called Sassafras. We were like a local institution because we opened up for a lot of bands at the main arena there. We opened up for Aerosmith, Alvin Bishop, Loggins & Messina. We played a lot of clubs in Waikiki. We used to play a place called Pears (?), and right next to it was a place where Seawind was playing.
We were mainly like an Aerosmith-type group. We played all over the place. But then Sassafras broke up—and I've played with a lot of local bands—and in the meantime I started putting together some stuff with Dave, he was playing with some of the local bands. I had access to the studio...
*interview truncated... due to website update in 2020.
so I said, "Let's put together some music." I already had my own band called Nutcracker, we did an album that was produced at another studio while I was going to college. I wrote all the songs on that. That was with… I forget the guy's name. Then me and Dave started something together because he was writing, I was writing. We started a band, too—that was it: the Roy & Roe band. We would play in clubs out in Pearl City, military bases. A lot of the guys who played on that album were in the group. In our spare time we started laying tracks down for Roy & Roe. We used different guitar players that I had played with before, different keyboard players. Some songs I played piano, some songs we brought in a drummer, there's stuff I played drums on. And then we brought a mutual friend of ours to arrange strings and horns on it Ron Chun Quartet>. It was kind of a labor of love that we recorded over 8, 9, 10 months... So it was a passion project? Well, we were hoping it would amount to a little bit more than that, you know? But at that time I don't think Honolulu was ready for that kind of stuff. What do you mean? We were hoping that we would get some sort of break, because when I look back on it there are still a couple of strong songs on it that probably could be brought up to date. Which ones stick out to you? Probably the ones that me and Dave wrote together. A track called "When We Turn Out The Lights", and then one that Dave wrote called "Sister Daisy". The instrumental I wrote had a lot of different movements. It wasn't what you would call progressive rock, but it could probably be seen as that by somebody. Were you guys trying to record an album for the local audience? What was your goal? We weren't really targeting any audience, we targeted music that we liked. We weren't going, "This'll work real good in Hawaii" or anything. We were just bringing our musical ideas together in a symbiotic type approach. I would write something and then Dave would put in his two cents, or I would put in my two cents , not knowing where we'd end up, you know, what the final product would sound like. It materialized and we decided we needed to get guitar players on the songs, like that funky song called—I think it's the first song on the second side— —Let's see, there's "Downtown", then "Just Don't Come Back"— —"Just Don't Come Back". That was kind of a funky Boz Scaggs-type groove. Take a look at the guitar player, John Rapoza, he could play in that style. The instrumental, that's a song I did with Billy Grannis and another guitar player, Chris Bovard. They were doing it together. Chris plays a Les Paul, Billy plays the Strat, those two guitars together would go good on this song. And then we'd add strings and horns later. We were just trying to do something different than what we had at the time locally. What was different about what you guys were doing? It was more contemporary, it was much more mainland sound. Our influences were far reaching, we were doing Elvis Costello-type things, Joe Jackson, things that were happening at the time, happening nationally. What was the response like when you finally released the album after 10 months? By the time the album came out I don't even think we were playing together anymore as a group. So we weren't really able to support the album as far as live performances. I don't know, everybody had their own thing or were off to something else . It just took too long to come out, it just didn't materialize fast enough. And Dave was talking about moving off the island and going to Nashville. Which he ended up doing. Oh yeah, he's been working with some big cats. I just continued working, but that was right before I went to New York. I left soon after to work at CBS, then I came back to Hawaii in 1981 and by that time Dave had already moved. I continued playing with some local groups, things like that. I got my old job back at the studio. In fact, the day I came back from New York I was going in on a session. Do you remember which session that was? Nope. I mean, I recorded a lot of people over there. I think the last album I recorded at Audio Media, hold on a second… which I thought it was a really good Hawaiian album, you gotta get your hands on it. They were from another island, they were from Kauai. You know, I think I might have that one. Is it Na Pali something? It's got a green cover. Taj Mahal plays on it. It's called Na Pali Pacific Tunings. Yep, that's the one. That was a great album. That was the last album I engineered over there. I've recorded a lot of local stuff, I was doing maybe 10 local albums a year. They were doing a bunch of other things there too, commercials, I was doing a bunch of jingles for local companies. I'm still gigging once in a while, two or three times a month, but as far as recording I don't really produce groups anymore because—I have all my recording equipment still, it's all up-to-date, but I mainly record and produce stuff now for video. Let's back track to the Roy & Roe band, the record sessions and how you guys were getting all these different musicians to come in and play on the album. What was it like during that time to have so many talented musicians available? A lot of times we let the musicians, we played them the song and gave them time to work out a part, either by giving them a tape or having them do it right there on the spot. I was pretty much running the studio all night. I was playing in some bands in Waikiki at the time, so when I would be down with a gig, we'd start some sessions at 12 midnight until five in the morning. That was just the way it was. It was a lot of fun. And if it didn't happen then, we'd do it another night.

Do you think the same type of thing could happen nowadays? I haven't been back to Hawaii since 1998, I came back to visit for a week. I have no idea what the musical climate is like in Hawaii now. The groups that were happening when I was there were The Krush, Manila Machine, Olomana, Society Of Seven, and you had a handful of different rock groups. But I don't know who's there, who isn't there now. Can you describe to me what it was like when you here? From the perspective of musician and an engineer? I mean, I recorded a lot of different kinds of groups, different kinds of people. A lot of people come to Hawaii to live. From something as simple as straight ahead Hawaiian music, or some people trying to do a style of sound from the mainland, but they didn't quite have the voice for it. The songwriting wasn't always great. I mean, everyone had potential but I never really heard anything different other than a couple of times. The ones that did eventually just left . There's the vibe of the place, it's probably like it is now: it's relaxed. But you know, a lot of people had delusions. I recorded a lot of people—a lot of people who put out an album, had some sort of backing—like Denny Miyasato and stuff like that—artists who were strictly trying to do a mainland-type album. I brought in a lot of the top players on my album. There were a lot of backup musicians back then. I would produce them, try to get them to hear themselves logically on tape, try to make suggestions as far as changing something, or if something sounded really rinky-dink, you know. That last record I did, Pacific Tunings, they were so old-time Hawaiian that I didn't even know what to suggest to them, I just wanted to get a good sounding recording. They were kind of like blues and Hawaiian, traditional old Hawaiian with their instruments they used, their melodies were really strong, and they brought in Taj Mahal. That album came out really nice, as far as Hawaiian albums go, that's definitely one of the best. I'm surprised it didn't go farther than it did, maybe they were too laid back? I don't know, we lived on an island so we didn't get much exposure. We recorded a lot of different things because I had access to the studio. It wasn't like every time we had an idea we had to pay for it. All we had to do was flip a switch on it. So you're saying that for the Roy & Roe album you didn't have to pay for studio time since you already worked there? Yeah. Aside from hiring the musicians, your time, that sort of thing— It was mostly just our own time, that sort of thing. When the studio wasn't in use for other recording artists. Yeah, most of the time we were recording at night. So how did you end up getting the job at Audio Media? It's kind of a funny story. I was playing in some band, it was a good band, too. It was with one of the guys who plays on the Roy & Roe album. We had keys, bass player, guitar player, and we would do stuff like Bryan Adams, stuff like that. There was a contest to write a jingle. I forget what the prize was, maybe a keyboard, or something. I said, "Let's take the group and find a small studio and go record for the contest." I wrote the jingle, we went to Audio Media after going to a few different locations. When we recorded it, the engineer was mixing it and I didn't like what he was doing. I said, "No, no, no. Do you mind if I do this?" I had recorded at mixing studios in New York before, so I sat down and started mixing it, and the owner walked in and he liked the sound that I was getting. He said, "Would you like a job?" …Well, ok , 'cause I was out of college and couldn't find work. That was right when that local competition started. Home Grown? Yeah, Home Grown. That was the first year of Home Grown, and I said, "Sure, what the hell." So he had me for, like, God, 150 hours per week, and he said, "You're gonna start tomorrow." We ended up winning the contest, and then he—I wish I still had that tape, too, that was a great song—oh no, no, that was the jingle. We also won a contest for the radio station. Anyway, I started engineering that next day. I came in in the morning with the guy that was there and started doing a fast tutorial of the equipment and EQs and audio flow and blah blah blah—and that first day i had to engineer three groups. Because everybody was recording for that contest. And every day after that I was recording two or three bands. To make a long story short, within four years I was the chief engineer of that studio. That other guy was gone. That's how I got into recording. That's a great story. Since I was an engineer, when I moved to New York in the mid-80s I went to CBS and they hired me to work as an audio engineer on a television show. But you see, I went to college for media production and my dream was to be a director. But no one's gonna hire you unless you have experience, so I got my foot in the door by being an audio engineer. Once I got my foot in the door, I started talking to the camera guys, then the editors, then I started doing camera work. My kid was still in Hawaii so I moved back to live there in the latter part of 1981, as soon as I got back I started engineering again. I was doing music again, but I wasn't doing camera work. Eventually I wanted to move away again from Hawaii. I've been pretty much been working in television since. Does Roy & Roe have any other recordings? No, not from Roy & Roe. We just did that album, that was it. How did Tom Moffat get involved? Tom Moffat's office was right above Audio Media, upstairs. He did all these commercials. Every concert he produced he would record his commercials at Audio Media. He was a neighbor. He was producing Kalapana, C&K, he was involved with all the big cats. When I got the album with Roy & Roe, all he had to do was pay for the mastering in LA and then he put it on his label, Bluewater. I don't know if he actually understood us to begin with but he distributed it, got it into the local stores. I gotta say that this record is an artifact, it rarely pops up in the thrift stores and record shops here, but it's a great story: recording the album at night when the studio's not in use. It took a lot to get it done. We did one song at a time. Sometimes Dave and I would just go there and hash out a song together. When we started to lay down tracks, not everyone was in the studio. You know, drums mic'd up and the bass, and maybe one guitar player, something like that, and we just started laying tracks own. We would bring in people according to their schedules and overdub tracks. We would use different keyboard players. are we going to put synthesized strings on this? Or are we going to have Kit Ebersbach do an arrangement? We actually, when we did all the strings we brought in a quartet of violin players into the studio and did all the songs they played on at the same time. They had charts written by Kit Ebersbach. Then we did the same with the horn section. Things were done like how Crosby, Stills & Nash would've done, you know? Bring in one guy at a time according to who's available. He'd be the only one in the studio doing the overdub, chorus, or guitar solo or whatever. They never actually had the whole band in there at the same time. Fascinating. The album came together really well. The only thing I can say as the closing comment is, I might re-record one or two of the songs. This Spanish guy I know wants to sing "When We Turn Out The Lights" but add different instrumentation to it, put drums on it, put a symphony on it. I would like to reproduce that song with him singing in Spanish, release it in Latin America and then see what happens. He lives here in Jacksonville, Florida. When we record it I'll send it to you. Absolutely, I would love that. ---

Heroes Community - Movement lag?
Heroes Community > Heroes 6 - The New Beginning > Thread: Movement lag?
Why after i click somewhere (adventure map) on the map and try to go, game is lagging a bit when hero starts to move? Is there a way to fix this? Note: It is not about my hardware, so pass this part and try to suggest anything about it.
From the first round, you could have been very difficult to overcome many different rounds of color. The higher the difficulty, the higher the speed, the obstacles are constantly changing shape makes it difficult for players to adapt.
And sure enough, anyone who tried the Colour Switch experience had to say that the game was too hard. Difficult not in the game but difficult to achieve high score and press the play button repeatedly is of course.
Colour Switch is not too new to the idea, in fact there are already many games of this type are born. However, the Colour Switch has a crazy degree of madness, as well as freshness due to the color change, the shape is constantly changing.
Creativity is not just about the idea of the game, but about the great obstacles the game developer creates. Special shapes seem to be easy to overcome but are much harder to imagine, which is interesting. It's more interesting than Flappy Brid in the puzzle element.
Beside the interesting gameplay, the music in the Colour Switch also impresses with the experience. It is exciting, stimulating with the DJ and quite consistent with the pace of the game.


Then-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie speaks during a news conference on Jan. 9, 2014, at the Statehouse in Trenton, N.J.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reportedly being considered as a replacement for ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions, according to a report.
Sources close to the matter told CBS News on Thursday that Christie, a one-time presidential candidate, is part of a list that includes former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, outgoing Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and former Attorney General William Barr, who served under President George H.W. Bush, CBS reported.
Another name said to be on the shortlist is that of Janice Rogers Brown, a retired federal appeals court judge who also served on the California Supreme Court and was a past colleague of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Two sources told CBS News that no decisions have been made yet and that the list could still grow.
Sessions resigned as attorney general Wednesday at the request of President Trump. The former U.S. senator from Alabama was once one of the president's most loyal and trusted advisers before infuriating Trump over his recusal from the Russia investigation.
Christie, a longtime friend of the president's, endorsed Trump after dropping out of the 2016 presidential campaign. Christie also oversaw the transition process before Trump took office.
But their relationship has been complicated by the fact that Christie, while a U.S. attorney in New Jersey from 2002 to 2008, convinced real estate developer Charles Kushner to accept a plea deal on corruption charges in 2004. Kushner, now 64, is the father of the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Christie later served two terms as governor of New Jersey, from January 2010 to January 2018. He left the office because of the state's term-limit laws.

NM SMART Grid Center Research Highlights from Year 2
Computer Science, Cyberinfrastructure, Engineering, Research, SMART Grid
Every year the NM SMART Grid Center is required to submit three highlights from the previous project year to the National Science Foundation. For Project Year 2, the research themed highlights focused on work by Assistant Professor Ali Bidram and his PhD student Binod Poudel at UNM and advancements by Assistant Professor David Mitchell and his team at NMSU.
Here is what these outstanding team members are working on - summarized in 250 words or less.
New DOE EPSCoR Solicitation: Funding Collaborations Between Researchers
Emphasis: This funding opportunity aims to create basic research collaborations between a pair of researchers, namely
Applicant/Principal Investigator (PI), a full-time faculty member who has never served as a PI on a prior DoD-funded award
Collaborator/co-Principal Investigator (co-PI), an investigator who will provide mentorship to the Applicant and has served as a PI on a DoD-funded research award actively between 1 October 2013 and 30 September 2020.
PIs and collaborators do not have to be in the same DEPSCoR-e
NM EPSCoR Impacts: The COVID-19 Response Efforts of RII2 NM EPSCoR Faculty Hire Heather Canavan
NM EPSCoR Impacts, Diversity, Engineering, Workforce Development
In 2005, Heather Canavan was hired as an Assistant Professor by the University of New Mexico's (UNM) Department of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering with support from NM EPSCoR through RII2 NM NEW – an award focused on developing nanoscience and hydrology capacity within the state. For Heather, EPSCoR functioned much like a wood brace does for a newly planted tree sapling.
Virtual All Hands Report
EPSCoR Events, SMART Grid
Like many events and meetings across the world, the NM SMART Grid Center annual All Hands Meeting (AHM) shifted from face to face to virtual space seemingly overnight. As news of school closures and other mandates were announced in March, the unparalleled shift to home and online rippled across our lives, taking meetings and classes with it. While we were excited to gather all team members in one space to communicate progress and look towards the future, safety and health are the top priority.
EPSCoR in the Time of COVID-19
Research, SMART Grid, Sustainability, Workforce Development
All of our lives have changed in response to the latest pandemic. With respect to EPSCoR, most of us are working from home and are learning how to social-distance, video-conference with colleagues, and use Slack and other tools to maintain some semblance of normality in our workday. Upcoming EPSCoR meetings such as the All Hands Meeting, NSF Reverse Site Visit and, most likely, the New Mexico EPSCoR State Committee Meeting will become virtual—i.e., Zoom conference calls. In short, our way of life has changed, seemingly overnight and we do not yet see the light at the end of the tunnel.
